Oh December…why must ye fly so quickly by?
I’ve much to do, no time to sigh.
Cards to mail, gifts to buy
and chocolate to bake, I’m not gonna lie.
Perhaps we might consider,
elongating this month, a simple fort nigh’?
Why imagine the time it would buy!
We could smile and be merry,
greeting each passer-by,
spreading joy, with a friendly, and heart-felt, hi!
God’s love to you, all His blessings enjoy,
tis the season of love, for each girl and boy.
So remember this, when gifts we give
they are only a reflection of the life we live.
Love one another the whole year through
in every encounter, and in all that you do.
