Hello, December.

You'll be here tomorrow But I feel you today Waiting with your blowing, blustery winds around the corner. Some may dread the winter you bring, But I welcome you with open arms. You usher us in to a warm, cozy season That tells us to stay a little bit longer in the warmth with our friends Or read an extra few pages in our book And snuggle under the covers with our loved one And light one more candle And eat an extra bowl of soup. You usher us in to a white, clean season That reminds us that there is still a beauty that touches everything, A blanket of peace and quiet that covers the cold and the barren.
