Silence after,
being on the run.
Shopping is done.
Wrapping fun.
Bets won.
***************************
Take comfort in.
Reflecting in the glow.
Thoughts of snow.
School's show.
Cookie dough.
*****************************
Take comfort in.
A vintage souvenir.
Holiday cheer.
Loved ones near.
Reflecting on another year.
****************************
Take comfort in.
The scent of pine.
A sip of wine.
Music divine.
Lives intertwined.
****************************
Take comfort in.
Cinnamon spice.
Turkey advise.
Skating on ice.
Christmas mice.
***************************
Take comfort in.
Joyful hearts.
Cherry tarts.
Beginning arts.
New starts.
*************************
Take Comfort in.
Cards and letters.
Warm sweaters.
Not being debtors
but abettors.
************************
Comfort and Joy during the Holiday Season.
Take Comfort in the Silence.
