This Time Of Year

This Time Of Year

by Bud Lemire on Dec 10, 2006

This is the time of the year

When you prepare, for the end is near

A special celebration around a decorated tree

And gathering of friends and family

Right now you’re trying to finish up

Your Christmas shopping, hoping you bought enough

And wrapping them up, which isn’t hard

But then you have to send out all those Christmas cards

Then there’s so many people in the store

It’s hard to find what you’re looking for

But once you find it, you want to shout

Until you see the long line at the check out

While you wait, thoughts gather in your mind

Maybe you should shop earlier next time

Yet when the time comes, those thoughts pass

Because this time of year, comes way too fast

I’m sure whatever it is you bought

They’ll treasure forever in their thoughts

And the time together, will be special and dear

When love is felt, This Time Of Year

Sometimes the stress at this time of year can weigh heavily on you.

But whatever you buy for those you love will always be appreciated and loved,

because it came from you
