Christmas— A Magical Time

Christmas is but once a year And what a magical time. Hymns and kind wishes As bells begin to chime. A warm and cozy fire. Pine scent in the air. Billowing-chimney smoke Sending friendly flares. Family and friends Exchanging gifts and cards. Cooking and Caroling. Embellished house and yard. Like the bulbs on Christmas trees, Spirits are so bright. ‘Tis a time of miracles As hearts change overnight. Ballerinas dancing And twirling all around. Folk so amused By the festive sights and sounds. Then the snowman melts. And 'POOF! ' All is gone. Ornaments rest on shelves As life reverts to norm. But the hymns and carols Continue to chime on With a message that's yet powerful When the Season is long gone.
