Sugar Coat It
The holidays come round again,
distant and far off at first, this trend,
plenty of time to prepare, cards to send.
Hurried shopping travels
eased by the buyer's experiment with internet dabbles
from Amazon or e bay or some other sale unravelers.
Decorations, lights and Christmas carols play
on the radio beginning early September days
used to be Thanksgiving in November, but now early sways.
So much to do, so little time
as suddenly the distant future aligns
more near, sliding toward the newest finds.
Speak of how we love the season
Sugarcoat it for me, I'm still believing
we can celebrate its true comfort and joyous reason.
Its Christmas coming but once a year
as if the Lord Jesus returns again to each of us, right here
would that for man, that could be enough cheer.
