1st December
There are 24 days until Christmas
December
by Ann Bonner
This is the month
of Advent.
Frosty stars
are magnificent
in the winter
sky.
The robin sings.
Brings
his joy.
Makes glad
the sad
short days.
Ring bells.
Sing the hymn
which tells
of the birth
imminent.
Light the candle.
Count the days.
And wait
for the great
event.
