HAPPY NEW YEAR, Amy..... May you have peace and abundant blessings.
Good Morning, and Happy 2014 to everyone here!
I was driving into my music teacher's neighborhood, saw the Christmas trees already curbside, and some of his neighbors outside with ladders taking down their displays. This came from that experience.
Keep them up
Keep flipping that switch
when the sun goes down
Be the last house in the neighborhood
If need be
Little lights in the dark, cold, January air
Staging their quiet rebuttal
One last hurrah until some time after
Epiphany
Sure the presents are all opened
Yes, all the sales are done
The shops and stores are already gearing up
for spring
But keep the lights up for just a little while
Longer
Remind thy neighbor
And thyself
Of this hallowed
and Gracious
Time
When God gave humanity
A precious
Second
Chance
