Poem for December 12
Christmas in the City
Christmas in the city,
Crowds on every street,
Smiles on friendly faces,
Stamp of snowy feet.
Bright lights on the lamposts,
Pine trees everywhere,
Sounds of chimes and church bells
On the cold, crisp air.
Candles in the windows,
Smell of spruce and pine,
Stockings on the mantle,
Hanging in a line.
Jean Brabham McKinney
