Twelve Little Gifts of Love

Come closer now. The fire's burning low. Snow's tapping time on the window

pane slow. I didn't chase diamonds or silver that gleams. I wrapped up

my love in 12 small dreams. Not 12 days, no partridge in a

tree. Just 12 little things to put you at ease. They don't all

shine, but they all come true. 12 little gifts all chosen for

you. Something for you. Something to eat, like the sweets you adore.

The candy from childhood you can't ignore. Something to drink, just a sip,

just a glow. A little night cap full of mistletoe. Something that's merry,
