On the calendar,
The shortest day of the year.
December twenty first,
The first day that winter begins.
Sun shines, temp warm, work day long!

Happy? Holidays
Christmas Day countdown.
Where is the season of cheer?
Everyone’s rushing.
In five days it’ll be all over,
And then New Year’s will be here.

Truth
The truth stands
It is absolute
A standard
Not changing
Even though no one believes
Truth is always true

Christmas Presence
Gifts!
Christmas,
Coming soon!
Wrapping presents
For my dear family.
This makes me pause to ponder
Upon the first Christmas gift,
Who was wrapped in swaddling clothes.
God’s ultimate present to mankind
Is still available to be received.

The Sound of Nature
Nature’s symphony
The sweet sounds in the meadow
Delightful rhapsody

Advent Joy
Joyful Candle!
Lit, it rejoices in Hope!
Peace’s light shines
Even brighter!
All invite the world to rejoice
And be glad today!

(Celebrating Joyfully the third week of Advent)
Ethereal Beauty
Melodious strings
Come alive with heavenly tones
The sound of a harp

A Harmony of Sounds
Cheerfully,
Sounding,
Harmony!
The Symphony,
Resounds in accord!
Such a sweet melody.
Proclaiming the Holiday.
Joyful tones inviting hearts to rejoice!
We celebrate the seasonal sounds,
Of masterpieces performed in perfect unity!

Early Morning Delight
A mind full of thoughts
Caused loss of sleep, I wake early.
Beautiful sunrise!
