New days ahead, old days behind, What a way to unwind, Few good days behind, many days to wrap and bind, With neat little bows, Greeting friends with tidy hellos, Feeding and dining amongst common fellows, Making new memories in the meadows, New years eve bringing about the dawn, Mother Eve ushering in her Fawns,…

Christmas Day

Coal or Toy?
Take action young one, For in crystal orb your shadow moves, Will you be good or bad, Naughty or nice, Opening coal or present, Will magic Christmas snow visit you, Are magic sled rides on Christmas day in your future, Good or bad, decisions to make my little friend, To love or terrorize your sibling,…
