A Christmas Wine!

Bright sunshine adds gold to dry leaves

A cloudless sky the cold deceives

My window paints a glowing scene

I am bemused – is this a dream?

 

Yet snowflakes bring a festive note

To the Ardennes as they coat

Our modest heights with sparkly wonder;

(Thinks: I’d rather be 'Down Under'!)

 

This winter though, I’m staying home

Where  the chill, alas, gets to the bone

But crisp walks in the wood inspire

And set my winter cheeks afire!

 

A mulled wine with a friend, delights

And brings a glow these winter nights

The Grand’Place tree in baubled splendour

Makes this a Christmas to remember!
