Road To Christmas
The road that leads to Christmas
Is lined with memories
Of holly wreaths and candles
And days that use to be.
The blessed joy of carols
That ring across the night,
The baby in a manager,
A star our guiding light.
Beloved friends we treasure
Around a twinkling tree,
The road that leads to Christmas,
Is lined with memory.
– Hilda Butler Farr
