Christmastime

Winter has come to stay

I’m learning to love it

So easy does it

During these shorter days

My heart pounds out of my chest

I’m ready for the big day

Trying to focus on my few guests

My thoughts for family will stray

The menu is planned and ready

The tree is decorated with lights

The mead is sweet and heady

Feelings are warm and bright

Since ’tis the season

For you, I send many kisses and a hug

Love is the reason

Let’s begin with sweets and tea in a mug
