CHRISTMAS BELLS ARE RINGING
~ Linda L. Dowd ~

+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+*+
Christmas bells are ringing,
They merrily chime all day.
Welcoming in the days of Yule,
Tidings so festive and gay.

Smiling faces are everywhere,
People are joyful and kind.
Giving of selves from souls and hearts,
And from their loving minds.

A time of peace and harmony,
When we each embrace all others.
There are no strangers among us,
In this Family of sisters and brothers.

We all hold hands in spirit,
For Christmas unites us all.
To celebrate in the birth of Christ,
Once born in a Bethlehem stall.

Christmas bells are ringing,
They merrily chime all day.
Welcoming in the days of Yule,
Tidings so festive and gay.

Sweetie - I think you are the spirit of Christmas - you so delight all with whom you share of your spirit -

Happy Holidays -

Love - Susan

Happiness isn't something that happens to you, it's created from within you.  Joy is a state of mind.
