Cool crisp mornings where sunshine seep in rays
Softer shades of hues, long nights, and shorter days
Drizzles here and there and golden hearths ablaze
Good omens all they bring telling that yuletide’s on its way
Cinnamon, ginger and nutmeg, aromas swirl in the air
Steaming mugs of chocolate bring warmth, love, and care
Pine needles sprinkle sweet smell and buds on our hair
Innocent wishes reach heaven every evening wrapped in prayer
Baubles red and gold, tinsel silver and green
Giggle inside the boxes waiting to be freed
Fairy lights, they twinkle, bedecking homes with their glee
Holly for decorations and dried flowers for wreaths
Pretty gifts to wrap and Christmas cards to write
Figurines delicate in a crib with an angel clad in white
Shining on the top of a tree is a golden star so bright
Casting on everyone its hopeful glimmering light
Notes of beloved carols, float in the blowing wind
They echo and harmonize and create a rhythmic swing
Glory be to the Lord, in angelic voices they sing
A festive cheer and joy to the ailing hearts they bring
Goodies baking in the oven, a festive place to dine
Shining crystal glasses brimming with fruity sweet wine
Around the table sit, all family of joyful kind
Hearty laughs and chatter while their bubbling thoughts unwind
Through the falling dew, fireworks burst in the sky
The sound of a distant bell signals the time is nigh
Magic crackles in the air and it reflects in the children’s smile
This is my prayer for all in the world during every Christmas time
