DECEMBER’S LIGHT by Eileen Spinelli

 

It’s the slanted light of a silver star,

  soft candlelight in a quiet room.

  It’s lantern light from house to barn

  swaying bright against the gloom.

  It’s the light of home across the miles.

  It’s the puddled light of moon-on snow.

  It’s the light in eyes…in smiles…in hearts.

  It’s the sweetest light of all I know.

 Robert L. Zammarchi sent in this next Christmas Poem with his illustration of a frolicking holiday pup.

ON CHRISTMAS DAY  

by Robert L. Zammarchi © 2014

I never want to lose my sense of wonder

because it sets me free

I always want to go beyond the yonder

as wild as it may be

I only want to fly through glistening snowflakes

lead me to the sky

I always want to hold close those dear to me

so many reasons why

I only want to live inside the moment

upon this Christmas Day

I always want to look into tomorrow

thankful for today

 

Thank you Eileen, Carol, and Rob for the Christmas cheer. Hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Merry Christmas!

Talk tomorrow,

Kathy
