THROUGH WINTER'S WINDOW

Through winter's window

Gracefully falls the snow,
Its peaceful white, glistening all night,
Covering the land so cold.

Through winter's window

The birds are gathering here,
Singing on branches of winter berries
Bringing in the winter cheer.

Through winter's window
Moonbeams dance across the land,
The deer make melody
As the fireplace warms heart and hand.

Through winter's window
The story of epic prose,
Rises through baked goodies
And doorposts of ribbons and mistletoe.

Through winter's window
The land all quiet and aglow,
May the Christmas Spirit of love
Rest upon every cottage and home.

WINTER'S PARADE

Winter's parade comes
But once a year,
With sleigh bells jingling
For all to hear.

With chestnuts roasting
On open fires,
And children singing
 In Christmas choirs.

Winters parade marches in
With ribbons, and tinsel everywhere,
With gingerbread and pumpkin pies
A waft in the air.

Farm and home
Now dressed in snow,
Ushers in the warmth
of Christmas aglow.

Winter's chill the
Silent night brings,
'Tis the chorus of Angel's
Heard in the treetops whisperings.

Snowflakes falling
All across the land,
Winter's parade comes with
Peace and joy in hand.
