Signs of Christmas
Wreaths of holly, mistletoe; Children playing in the snow; Carols sung by fireside glow; These are signs of Christmas. Yuletide trimmings on the street; Friendly smiles from folks you meet; Shopping trips and tired feet; These are signs of Christmas. Gifts all wrapped, the stockings hung; Every carol has been sung; Night descends, a church bell’s rung; These are signs of Christmas. Children dozing through the night; Eager for the dawn’s first light; Peace prevails and all is right; These are signs of Christmas. Glenda Collins Inman (published in IDEALS Magazine CHRISTMAS 2013)
