My Christmas candle flames with joy
for all the world to see.
It shines with hope and promise
for the likes of you and me.
Christmas Rain
We feel the wet, cold Christmas rain.
It’s falling all around.
Rain is just a fact of life
for those near Puget Sound.
We dream sometimes of Christmas snow.
It’s just a fleeting thought.
‘Cause when you live near Puget Sound,
rain is what you’ve got.
It’s Christmas Eve!
We wake to Christmas in our hearts.
It’s time for celebration!
We link to all throughout the land
in Joy and Jubilation!
Merry Christmas to All!

Shortest Day
Our day today’s the shortest day.
Our night’s the longest night.
The seconds added to our day
make hearts lift free and bright.
Days and Nights
Hooray! Today’s the shortest day!
The days start getting longer!
Seconds added to our light!
My heart’s already stronger!
Christmas Holiday
It’s the Christmas Holiday!
Love and Blessings come your way!
Lift your heart and raise your voice!
Ev’ry part of you: Rejoice!
Dull December Day
It’s a cold and dark December day.
It’s a day to cuddle up.
It’s a day to wrap a blanket round
sipping cocoa from a cup.
It’s a day to wiggle toasty toes
wrapped up in fluffy socks,
and listen to the gentle sound
of softly chiming clocks.
It’s a day to give our thanks for life,
and a day for deep reflection.
It’s a day to spend in reverie and
in thoughtful introspection.
Let it rain.
Sydney Australia 2025
Two more killers load their guns.
Many more will die.
Another nation weeps with grief.
Another day goes by.
Brown University 2025
Another shooter loads his gun.
Another life is ended.
Our nation has a broken heart.
Perhaps it can be mended.
