The Second of December

It's the second of December

and I'm trying to remember

What the old folks use to say

about cherishing everyday

And appreciating ever night

We got to sleep in our beds, tight

Yeah, this time of year

I wish they all were here

The Elders of the Clan

The Parents and the Grands

The wisdom of their words

Family secrets over heard

 Forever frozen in time

 Still etched, firmly, in my mind

Holiday traditions

Mama switchin' in the kitchen

The food just right

The music and Christmas lights

It's all so great to remember

On this second day of December
