Twelve Little Gifts of Love

Come closer dear, 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 trees.

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 to eat like the sweets you adore. That candy from childhood you can't

ignore. Something to drink, just a sip, just a glow. A little night

cap for the mistletoe. Something that's merry, a game we can play.
