Lights all shining
in each yard I see.
Brightly glowing
for you and me.
We drive and drive
seeing lights everywhere.
Finding that Christmas
is definitely in the air.
The breath of winter
has breathed into our day,
yet when we look out
it seems the month of May.
Sun shining and warm
with only but a small chill.
It won't snow this Christmas
and I don't think it ever will.
It's a green Christmas
with confusion all around
when I hear ones singing songs
of Santa coming to town.
Sleigh bells ringing?
"Uh huh, Yea right".
The only sleigh bells we'll hear
will be dreams in the night.
Dreaming of a white Christmas
like one I never knew,
but dreams do come alive
if we allow them too.
We can dream a snow storm
with Santa going HO HO HO.
It may be the only white Christmas
I'll ever really know.
Oh well, I've heard
that the snow gets out of hand.
Up in Maine you have to dig out
a place for you just to stand.
The drifts get so high
that you can not see the top.
I guess if I had that much snow
I would pray for it to stop.
So a green Christmas
isn't so bad.
It's just like every Christmas
that I've had. LOL
