Christmas

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee for the lights and stars and trees

My soul can feel each stirring as a breeze
For the season of love and perfect grace.

I love thee for memories of yesterday
Most holy days amidst the silent nights
I love thy kindness as men look to the light;

I love thy purity seen in a child's face.
I love thy wreaths, thy wrappings, and thy bells

In quiet hours, thy carols come alive
I love thee with a love that always swells

With my growing years, my anticipation rife,
Smiles, joy, and glowing peace! -and, if Good will
I shall love thee better all my life.
