'It's That Time Of Year' Poem by Linda Winchell

Here it is, that time of year again
with it's coco and cookie time!
Store windows all in their holiday dress
people on corners, ringing bells chime.

Shame we couldn't have this joy
of giving and good cheer!
With every day of every month!
and with every single year!

Christmas spirit shouldn't be but once a year!
Should always be something one carries in their heart!
Spreading good news of Christ the King!
And giving God's present of Love from the start!

After New Years, has come and gone
and all those resolutions have seemed to fail!
Does the need end there, still ringing sounds of despair?
Is there no need for filling of ones empty pail?

Christmas should be all year long
giving to help with God's love and joy!
To help bring all of God's goodness to man
and to every little girl and boy.

'Peace on earth, good will towards man! '
those words seem to have been fogotten.
While in man's heart, their care seems not!
and all else tossed away to rotten.
