Greetings
“Hello dear friend
I thought
I’d write
My
greetings send
And say
Good night”!
When you
be real lonely
Sit down
and write to me
I’ll
answer with pleasure
When I
right lonely be.
From my
heart today I send
Loving
greetings to my friend
Whether
toward joy or sadness
Your path
in life may wend
Remember
my Christmas message
“Forever
I’m you friend”
When on
Christmas morning
You behold
the rising sun
Think,
once in a lowly manger
It shone
on the Holy One.
Long ago
across the snow
Brilliant
light from heaven shone
Lighting
up this lonely world
To which
was given God’s only Son
Bake
another, one, two, three -
Sit down
and eat them all – for me!
Listen to
the Christmas bells
Ringing
thru the still clear air
“Good will
to mortals everywhere.”
