Kicking off the holiday season with a poem by our very own George Blackmon (Maury Elementary community member). Happy Holidays!
——————————–
Chants of the Holiday
Dusk occurred in the city
The streetlights were turning on
A small group was gathering at the park
Their apparel was similar to those worn in years gone by
Each with songbook in hand
As they prepared to go caroling in the neighborhood
After a short talk, they lined up in twos
And walked down the street
Singing their favorite songs
The neighbors opened their windows
And stood in their doorways
As the voices rang in the evening air
When they approached the center of the street
A new tune echoed
We come this Christmastime
In our song, in our rhyme
To show some love and cheer
At this special time of year
Singing with warmth and joy
Men, women, girls and boys
We stopped by here to say
Have a Happy Holiday
