Life is for living
Love is for sharing
‘Tis the season of giving
Of joy and of caring
Times are hard
The future uncertain
This pitiful bard
For luck, he is hurtin’
Yet deep in the heart
Where love knows no bounds
A new day will start
The lost will be found
Blessed are we
Each for the other
Our family tree
Grows ever stronger
I say unto you
Through thick and thin
I will be true
Together we’ll win
Your faith is my anchor
Your love, my shield
One last metaphor
Your smile is my crown!
Merry Christmas to all and a Happy New Year!
George C. Anderson Jr.

PS. I’d like to thank each and every one of you that go forth each day and toils for a paycheck because without your efforts, the world as we know it would cease to be.
