| December's blaze with Season's light January dark and cold Decades of memories spread to stash the red, the green, the gold The mem'ries of the weeks that passed The once full house is stilled Treats have dwindled, wreaths are down And gift bags are unfilled |
New Year's blues for seconds fade
some outdoor lights remain
Amaryllis blooming strong
For moments doldrums wane
Mem'ries of those Christmas days
Too far back to believe
Daylight makes its gain these weeks
As darkness takes its leave
Days and weeks keep zipping by
This Christmas tucked away
The prospect of another year?
This Christmas needs to stay
