Losing It at Christmas Time

How would it be?

If it wouldn’t snow but rain

in the wintertime?

*

How would it be -

if it wouldn’t rain but snow

in the springtime?

Of course, then nothing would grow.

*

How would it be -

if love made you dizzy

and giddy all the time?

*

How would it be -

if things turned upside down

and we took a look at the world wrong side up?

*

How would it be -

if we always wore silly grins

and ignored the world about us?

*

How would it be -

if there were no more tears,

just smiles and laughter through the years?

*

How would it be -

if we just let go of reality

and sailed away dreaming on clouds?

*

How would it be –

if that jolly, fat man in a red suit,

joined us for a glass of eggnog?

*

How would it be –

to see eight tiny reindeer,

flying through the sky?

*

Perhaps it would be a delight,

to go dancing among silvery snowflakes,

on Christmas night.

*

Perhaps this world -

would be easier to live in,

if we were less attached to the world at large.

*

Making love a priority,

making happiness a necessity,

making the world more our playground.

*

Maybe losing it -

is not so bad,

just a tad letting go of all the seriousness.

*

Let’s find more time,

to be free as birds on the wing,

as free as the breeze blowing through the trees,

*

Let’s do some serious,

rocking around our Christmas tree.

with glad smiles

and full of holiday glee.

*

Wishing you and yours a Merry Christmas!
