Sing of the Holidays that End the Year

A Seasons Greetings poem about the need for holiday songs: Sing of the holidays that end the year! Each cause for celebration and reflection. As darkness rules the earth, sing of good cheer, Sustained by will and nourished by affection. Of Christmas, Hanukkah, and New Year's Eve, Now sing that you might magnify the light! Sing, for in your joy you will believe, Granted grace throughout the bitter night. Rekindle for these holidays the fire Each carries on the hearthstone of the heart, Eloquent of rapture and desire Tended well by long-familiar art. In quest of fellowship and common feeling, Needing company, nor care concealing, Giving and receiving equal measure, Sing, then, of passion, faith, and simple pleasure! © by Nicholas Gordon To see this poem on my site, go to https://www.poemsforfree.com/singof.html.
