Image result for pictures of people sitting on a park bench in the christmas season

On moonglow's frosty -white of stone The gleaming lanterns bid me walk On icy road .... pines stand alone As hums warble a Christmas talk : And night unfurls its shading pall While on a bench I lounge to dream, To relish a charm which recalls Winters of yore that drift, agleam. Amid an old park’s shimmered bend Those girlhood days rewind life’s zing-- Holiday treats, joy through night's end Rush from my breath like angel's wing: This same park bench, for now, is mine To rest old feet ...a little while In fondest thought and dreams divine When creases on eyes wear Yuletide's smile. 11/23/2018 The Park Bench At Christmas for Sara Kendrick Picture No. 4

An old rugged bench becomes a sacred place of charmed memories in the hands of a skilled artist. What fortune each hue filled word must feel to be created from the end of your inspired brush. Nette, I awe in your paintings and find myself somehow in each one! Happy Thanksgiving dear friend!
