The holidays have come and gone
We basked in the glory of the joyous season-
Shared warm smiles and thoughtful gifts
Sang uplifting songs, sent loving greetings And perhaps, received an engagement ring
We gazed upon the splendor of the “great conjunction”
In the silent night
Jupiter and Saturn brightly shined as they aligned
And they ushered winter into the Northern Horizon
In the still of the dark
Stood the evergreen trees
On the longest night
As sure as they will remain
All shades of green everyday
So will the holidays bring
Light into our life- our everyday
And the love in our hearts
Will bring light into others lives
Shining bright just like the star we have seen
On the longest night
It will endure
Through the coldest season
Just like the evergreen
