The Christmas Lights

The Christmas lights lay dark and dormant

Through rain, fog and snow.

Waiting for that spark to brighten their lives

Become a brilliant light show.

They’ve been strung with care

Every bulb tested and tightened

Cords stretched thru the yard

The night soon to be brightened.

The sun sets, the yard lights up

A beautiful sight, a thrill to the eyes

Warms our hearts, brightens our spirits

The Christmas gift no longer a surprise
