A Christmas Moment

                                                                 

 

The

holly

offers up
December berries.

In

 its branches

nature sings and celebrates:

chickadees in neat tuxedos,

red-sweatered robins,

svelte varied thrush with banded throat;

and on a weathered rail there lights one regal jay,

a bandit king in royal blue.

Oh, what a Christmas moment...

God's 

joyous gift

to this gray day!
