Happy Sunday! Happy Solstice!
Shortest day, longest nighttime is here,
But, my friends, let us be of good cheer.
Daylight is glowing,
Daylight is growing,
Embrace the Light as it comes near.

Lighted trees bring the neighbors good cheer
At this darkest and cold time of year.
They lift spirits high
When people go by;
They give hope, and they drive away fear.

Snow falls in a pre-Christmas storm,
But inside, it is cozy and warm,
With cookies and tea,
Carols, camaraderie,
We celebrate traditions formed.

Folks with shovels scrape sidewalks and stoops,
Throwing snow off them scoop after scoop.
Kids and dogs take delight
In the sparking white
As they run around loop after loop.

The burning bush blazes so bright,
But it doesn’t give off heat or light.
It is not consumed
By its fire. It’s assumed
That it glows from within; what a sight!

A crow cawed with probable cause,
Far below someone’s breaking his laws,
Like sniffing a tree
Or barking with glee;
Crow thinks he is due some applause.

The snowflakes are not hard to catch,
They keep falling down, batch after batch;
They taste kind of like rain,
But I must try again
To be sure that the taste is a match.

The googly eyes let you know
This leaf’s ready to dance in a show.
He ought not to brag
But the “Maple Leaf Rag”
Is his theme song. He’ll give it a go!

Jack Frost came to visit one night,
He painted our roofs and yards white,
He outlined some leaves
Downed from trees in the breeze,
To give us a cool morning sight.

In October, a pumpkin transforms
In keeping with Halloween norms,
The light from within
Is what powers him
And makes those who meet him feel warm.

It’s a secret! Hush, hush! Mum’s the word!
These mums won’t tell anything heard,
They’re trustworthy blooms
Taking tales to their tombs,
To think otherwise would be absurd!

“I’d like a few highlights on top,”
Said the tee at the Fall Beauty Shop.
Mother Nature complied
With a sunny topside,
Just some glam before all the leaves drop.

This tortoise won’t win any races,
But his owner still puts him through paces;
One thing that he knows—
He’ll never need clothes,
And he’ll never be homeless, good gracious!
