Deck the Hall

Deck The Halls * **** * On Christmas carols echoed in the hall Merriment and celebratory mood put us all in swinging gaiety with the singers We sang with the choristers at the midnight mass with clanging cymbals Past sorrows were shut out Our neighbourers exuberant faces warmed our blood by forgiving and forgetting the spears and barbs of the dead days as bygone stories Zealously we were spreading happiness of sharing in the lonely world of the less fortunate by becoming the forerunners of our benevolent Santa Claus making a toy land of the homeless and joy land of our parched souls We at sixteen each held lit candles decking our lives with unfortunate Carols and candles chorused unknown into the unknown Contest : Christmas Carols- Deck The Hall Sponsor: Kelly Deschler December 15, 2015
