Deck the Halls

Deck the Yuletide Halls Winter’s bounty of floral beauty ever blooms through snowy nights Even when nature wears a mantle bold stitched of frosty weather By warming fires and in the apparel of amber scented candlelight. Wreaths of Holly and of ivy grace the halls - a visitor’s delight Red poinsettias – white or pink – surely memory’s treasures Winter’s bounty of floral beauty ever blooms through snowy nights A Snowdrop Tree, Jerusalem Cherry sugarplum visions of Snowberry White Garlands twined of fir or pine in seasonal decorations endeavors Even when nature wears a mantle bold stitched of frosty weather. Evergreens wear twinkling lights against the winter’s withering might - Frankincense perfumes the boughs and laughs in merry measure – Winter’s bounty of floral beauty ever blooms through snowy nights. Christmas Cactus in neon blooms for a wond’rous sight Cyclamen deck the halls along with colorful Yuletide heathers Even when nature wears a mantle bold stitched of frosty weather. All nature bows before the Word who spoke their nascent birth in light Strike the harp, join the Christmas chorus – joy, goodwill and peace invite Winter’s bounty of floral beauty ever blooms through snowy nights By warming fires and in the apparel of amber scented candlelight. 12-8-20 Contest: Deck the Halls Sponsor: Joseph May
