DECEMBER DAYS

I just love December days,
When slowly sinks the sun 
She drops through gold and purple haze
As afternoon is done 
I like to watch her flicker past
The leafless trees and frozen grass
The bowing branches, 
Till at last 
She slips and blinks away

And, I love December nights 
When starlight fills the sky 
The gentle glow of Christmas lights 
As Advent bustles by 
I like to think of all the things 
That Father Christmas used to bring, 
The hope, the joy of carolling 
As candles flickered bright 

Yes I like December Days  
When slowly sinks the sun 
There should be a thousand ways 
To cherish every one
