Light in the Darkness
The darkness doesn’t bother me at all,Cause Christmas lights all go up in the Fall,And drive away the darkness that has creptUpon us in such tiny increments.
But after Christmas, darkness gets me down,As decorations leave all over town,Allowing night that has been held at bay,To creep upon us, shortening each day.
So Husby, he of brain and heft and might,He takes me with him when he seeks the light,And for the very darkest part of year,He somehow finds a place of sun and cheer.
So now I’m reading tales of cold and woe,My children tell of shovelling the snow,Sooo . . . Apologies to all of you, my troop,But I’m sitting in the sun in Guadeloupe!
Each month our Karen challenges us,To craft a po-em without muss or fuss.So happily, we all put pen to page,Trying to create a new ad-age!
