Christmas left a bit of sparkle behind


Christmas left a bit of sparkle behind
    I was sorry to sweep it up

Echoes of carolers
    pungent cranberry

the majesty of the tree
   the humility of the manger

Memories sure to melt and evaporate    
   like an icicle in my hand

Or maybe like a cup of mulled cider by the fire
   they will linger to warm my heart
