Merry Christmas...If I May Poem by James B. Earley

Remembering that Napa Valley moment
...."Jim...I'd like.......you meet....
My lovely Sally" said Mother Anne
Years hence still my Christmas treat

Jingle bells....jingle bells
....Celebrating every single day
Memories...I'll always treasure
.....Savoring....all the way

Together again....they are
....Merry Christmas....If I may
Jingle bells.....jingle bells....
Recalling that precious day

July or August....I'm not sure
...Which of the two...it was
Yet....gifts they will...forever be
Straight....from Santa Claus

Jingle bells....jingle bells
....This...to God I pray
The best of wealth...life-long health
....All packed in Santa's sleigh

Oh...jingle bells....jingle bells
....Here's to that wondrous day
Together....once again they are
....Merry Christmas...if I may

~JAMES B. EARLEY (Jim)
