Let Love Stay

When dressed in your finest 
they say it's quite true
whether choosing denim or fur

in olive green, gold or blue....

you feel "alive."

Many homes at years end are similar, with welcoming lights

or vibrant hues that frame
and safeguard the young. 

So when your finery 

comes off, to be put away
along with the baubles 

that go back in their boxes....

let love "stay."
