Gleaming Bride

Our Christmas tree looks like

A gleaming bride

It has brought

Fun, laughter and mirth

In its stride

The aura has filled our heart

With a spirit of freshness and bliss

Invoked in us

The virtues of kindness and 'joy of giving'

We revel till our soul aches ...

Exult in happiness

Leaving aside criss-cross tracks

And the maze of life

The entire year, we look for

These subtleties of the festive season

To rejoice, spread cheer

Burst into peals of laughter

Eat, drink and be merry

Spend quality time with family.
