THE BEST TIME OF THE YEAR
There are no songs
Quite like Christmas songs,
So pleasing to the ear-
Quite like Christmas lights,
So bright and full of cheer,
There’s no joy
Quite like Christmas joy,
With friends and loved ones near.
There’s no time
Quite like Christmastime,
The best time of the year.
A TIME FOR DECISIONS
What time does New Year express?
A time of fun or of distress?
A new year is a new leaf;
A time for searching beliefs,
And finding happiness of mind
As clocks of time slowly unwind,
With short flashes of the past
As we make decisions that will last
Does New Year make thinkers,
Or welcome seldom drinkers?
Face it with hopeful vision,
And make next year the best,
But be wise and you’ll be blessed.
