Colors of Christmas

by Nancy Garber

The colors of Christmas,

So bright every year,

Always bring with them

Good holiday cheer:

The red of the berries,

The green of the trees,

The silvery bells

Ringing out on the breeze.

And over it all

There’s the white of the snow.

Just look at the lamplight’s

Bright golden glow.

The frost on the window

Sparkles in greys,

Giving the world

An ice-slippery glaze.

The sunrise is pink

On a new Christmas Day,

And lavender moonlight

Shines on the red sleigh.
