December Eve

December Eve In the somber evening hours I luxuriate in my peaceful surroundings The sky outside is grim, brooding and pitch black although it’s only 4 o’clock “It’s a Wonderful Life” is on T.V. in black and white Echoing the picture that is forming outside I curl up underneath my fluffy throw Settling in for the evening My dog is barking on the couch Complaining about the growling winds outside The wind that is knocking on my windows My sweet fur baby is shielding me from the noise that’s emanating from the weather I grow tired and weary as the day drones on I sip my cocoa as I dream about snowflakes, fir trees and flickering stars The night is looming before me I feel thankful that I am safe and warm in my cozy abode While nature does its work closing the curtains on the day The winter storm is upon us Blizzard winds are blowing forth This is the state of affairs for a gloomy December Eve But all is perfect; All is well; God is at work! Happy December Evening!
