Dear December

 Dear December,

Come on in with your lights,

your music,

your promise of joy.

You make the harsh winter warmer,

the dark months brighter,

and bring us together,

in so many ways.

Let your festive graces,

warm our hardened hearts,

and remind us of what's important,

each other.

And December,

please be kind,

to those who find your lights,

too bright.

Let them see that hope lives,

in every card,

in every invitation,

in every glass raised.

And for Christmas,

give them memories,

old and new,

like the precious gifts they are.

And show them what to do,

with all that love.

~Donna Ashworth
