Sweetest Season

Sweetest season sealed with sounds and sights
Lands, lords, ladies and lads locked in love and lights
Food, fruits, fine flowers… in fellowship and flights,
Happiness, hospitality, hands hooked in huts and heights.

Gross and guilt gives way for grace, glory and glow
Spectacular solos springs sweetly from the sparrow
Reminding us of our righteous rebirth… and the rainbow,
Families, friends and fans aflame, faith and fate… flow.

Christmas caress all continents, countries and counties,
Trading tears and torments for treasured tender tress,
Christ’s cares and kindness cruise around our kisses;
Sweet savor and sincere smiles sent across the seas.
