Decorating like the old days
Entering a home so ready to receive
Collections of friends and warmth
Empty plates and full bellies will commence
Making many mouths mightily munching more
Beneath the colored lights
Eyes full of brightness and ears pink and cold
Riding the wave of good sounds and smells
Found through the door
Inner heat will take a bit but that’s ok
Reaching out for an embrace
Every face a smile
To you I dedicate
In the interest of peace
Many positive thoughts and words
Every time I say hello or goodbye
