~T’was the Eleventh…

T’was the eleventh day of December
And I had discovered a new song.
Well, actually, I’d sung it before –
So that statement is kind of wrong.

But today was the day that I realized,
Just how much I really enjoyed,
This old carol that I’d recently learned,
And in singing, my voice had employed.

Sing We Now of Christmas.
T’was the name of the song I found.
If nothing else, I really like the tune,
It has such a lovely and haunting sound.

But then, there’s the words too.
I enjoy them – well the ones I’ve learned.
I’ve only memorized verse one so far.
The rest, so far, my memory has spurned.

But, I intend to rectify that later,
Maybe, just possibly tomorrow.
And if I find something I don’t like –
Well, that will be much to my sorrow.

But, unless that happens, this just might,
Make it on my list of favorites songs.
I plan to sing it over and again in coming days,
Imagining the music, complete with bells and gongs.

To the KING be all the glory!

    Uhhhh… When you put in the title of the song,
    ”Sing A Song of Christmas” the real name to that is,
    ”Sing We Now of Christmas”
