Gershon Wolf Poet Rhyme

Festival of Lights

These days of the year
  of darkness darkest
When longest nights are here

The sun sets early, rises late
  the moon is on the wane
In 2020 COVID adds more pain

Enter Chanukah, the Festival of Lights
  each new candle burning bright
Piercing the darkness for eight nights

Tom Cunningham December 11, 2020 at 12:41 PM Lighted candles are so uplifting in the dark days we have but after the 21st we'll see a stretch in daylight, be glad to see the back of this year though. Enjoy your weekend Tom Gershon Wolf December 11, 2020 at 1:37 PM Thanks, Tom. Looking forward to those later sunsets after the 21st. Peace, Gershon
