Joy Enough for Me

 

Nancy

 

A star

To grace the Holy Scene

A fire

Glowing warm

Laden boughs of scented pine

A sprig of mistletoe

Twinkle lights

And candlelight and

Snow beyond the panes

 

Presents

‘Neath the Christmas tree

In artful disarray

Ribbons curled

In crimson bows

‘Round silver bells

Green holly stems

 

Guess the Gift

We laugh our way

Through every playful fancy

Neither yielding

Keeping secrets

Safe

‘Til Christmas morning

 

Carols soft do laud the King

Confide His peace to all

She falls upon my heart to rest

I hold her

Grateful

There

 

O Holy angels

Stay the bells

Forestall

The alleluias

Let Christmas wait

Prolong this Eve

It’s joy enough

For me

 

 Merry Christmas, H
