Home for the Holidays

 

HOME FOR CHRISTMAS

Twinkling lights welcome

travelers that come

on their journey home.

Others call on the phone

wishing they were home

for there's no place like home.

Falling snowflakes come

making snow cones

atop posts and stones.

Fresh cut pine boughs welcome

from their new home among

shining Christmas lights strung.

A Christmas tree adorned

with decorations from

loved ones old and young.

Ribbon candy tastes yum

on everyone's tongue.

Can't decide which one.

Stockings on mantels hung.

Some short and some long.

Filled with toys for some.

Gifts exchanged by everyone

remind us of God's gift born

long ago in Bethlehem.

Laughing children run

with new toys among

discarded paper torn.

Gingerbread cookies welcome

everyone old and young home.

At the end of the day there's just crumbs.

Eggnog made with rum

welcomes one home

and warms ones tum.

Carols are sung

by old and young

the whole day long.

O come, O come

let us adore Him

is the day's anthem.

After dinner someone

can be heard give a groan.

A sad but glad tone.

Children no longer seen run

for they're tired from so much fun.

They've been nonstop the whole day long.

Twilight welcomed.

There's no place like home

with dad and mum.
