The murmuring ripples, Christmas shores
Releases salt breeze of tangy ocean seas
With imagistic cypress cove , snow mottled shores
With silvery winds , wish is heard, doves bird


Everlasting cherished sunset together you and I
Withering heights for us to carry in hearts a child
Shrouds of Christmas wrapped in beauty to be seen
Blanket beauty in stars sheen


Trees barren across the bridge to hope
Cherished candy canes hung with delight unfold
Children gather in years to share the story's there
How the Christ child was shared everywhere
