CARDS


CARDS


Humble folk, with weathered faces, trampling through the snow
Sparkling Christmas tree baubles and church candles that glow
Cheery red-breasted robins that are merrily singing,
In the lane the sound of church bells, joyously ringing.

Carol singers in unison, with their lanterns so bright
Gather in the town square, on a dark snowy night
An old fashioned coach, pulled by a white horse.
Little children playing,  with snowballs of course!

Baby Jesus lying in a manger, amid a stable so bare
Wise men, and shepherds,  in wonder they stare,
Mary and Joseph, their hearts filled with love
While Angels smile down from the heavens above.

These winter scenes and there are many more
Adorn Christmas cards, that we buy by the score.
We send to our loved ones and friends, far and near.
To wish them Merry Christmas and Happy New Year.
