A Toast to the Season

A Toast to the Season

To the Holly

                   and the Ivy

                                     and the Lights

                                                           upon the Tree

To the Starlight

                        and the Moon Glow

                                                       and the soft Snow

                                                                                   on the street

To the Child within

                              that giggles

                                                Skating wildly

                                                                       on the rink

To the Spirit

                   and the Memories

                                              from Past to Present link

To the Wishes  

                     in a Christmas card

                                                   and a Carol’s

                                                                       rousing refrain

To the Bare Feet

                        on the Cold floor

                                                  and Frost’s etchings

                                                                                 on the pane

To the Happy Smiles

                              on

                                   Christmas morn

                                                           That takes me

                                                                            Home  Again.
