To all a healthy holiday with wishes
that all may be soldiers of Jollity & Kindness
That Time of Year
In the North white flakes will
fall
Catch it on your tongues, fiddle dee dees
Listen to joyous singing in the trees
of brave, fearlessly happy Chickadees
The year changes numbers to age ourselves
As Earth blankets herself with frost and snow
Taking a much needed 3 month rest
Our mother nurtures new life below
Some folks celebrate the birth of their king
A babe in a manger beside goats and cows
like Persephone promises eternal rebirth
Relax, dear friends, with respectful bows
We only wish that those we loved
Who from life have taken flight
So strong with loving memory
Could sing with us again tonight
Dream of colors that will come in Spring
Put on that coat, Brave the Cold
Go outside and sing a song
Look to the firmament bright and bold
The Stars that are eternal guides
A moon that comforts all our woes
We wish you wisdom, love and good health
From head, to your Christmas stocking toes
Happy 2023!
