The millenium 2020


Winter is here, bringing the blues
Swapping sandals, for Wellington boots.
Sitting in front of a nice warm fire
Watching the flames, getting higher.
Suddenly, the children shout
Mummy its snowing, can we play out.
You wrap them up, put boots on their feet
Outcome the sledges, what a treat.
Soon they come back in the warm
Hot chocolate, cakes to calm.
Suddenly the church bells ring
Welcoming people to enter in.
We put on our coats, and off we go
Down to the church, through the snow.
We all join in, with hymns and a prayer
Welcoming the new year, for all to share.
