"And this is what I love this time of year"

December Song Meeting old friends around every corner And making new friends in the in between I have been walking too long looking down To realize if you know what I mean How in love I am with humanity Whose communication is our birthright The meaning behind all this vanity Beyond such failure and futility As cloud inward light as we slip from sight At least I still have the ability To get as to give that small human spark We recognize between us in the dark By which we humans navigate the night I know I have come further than I know Led by that small human spark and its glow Caught like a faraway kiss blown to me Warming in my heart long after we part And this is what I love this time of year Meeting old friends around every corner And making new friends in the in between Wherever you are I can feel you here Long after we part warming in my heart +Steven Curtis Lance Copyright MMIX
