Merry Christmas and Happy New Year

________________________________________

Candlelit Heart

Somewhere across the winter world tonight
You will be hearing chimes that fill the air;
Christmas extends its all-enfolding light
Across the distance…something we can share.

You will be singing,
just the same as I,
These familiar songs we know so well,
And you will see these same stars in your sky
And wish upon that brightest one that fell.

I shall remember you and trim my tree,
One shining star upon the topmost bough;
I will hang wreaths of faith that all may see —
Tonight I glimpse beyond the here and now.

And all the time that we must be apart
I keep a candle in my heart.

_A Poem by Mary E. Linton_______________________________________

My dear students,
I really hope you enjoy this holiday season and your new year goes wonderfully

Best regards

Dulce
