Weekend Snapshot: What's Old is New is Old at Christmas

You age but do never weary--
Are you man or Elf? Magic itself?

Alone in the cold year after year

Making gifts from the dreams that drift
Seen and unseen from hearts evergreen.
Giver of gifts from hearts that dream.
Alone in the cold year after year
Neither man nor elf nor magic itself

But all at once and one and all and everywhere;
We call you by name and you know our hope.
Alone in the cold, you know our hope.

    Hi, Sandy! So sorry that it's only now that I was able to return the favor. I was advised by my gynecologist to rest completely due to threatened abortion. I've even asked my friends to do my paid postings for me since I can't come to the computer because I need to lie in bed for 2 weeks. Anyway, better late than never. What a beautiful composition, really loved it. Wished I’ve read it sooner. Belated Merry Christmas and Advance Happy New Year! :-)
