A simple something for your Adventide

I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.
A magical thing
And sweet to remember:

"We are nearer to spring
Than we were in September,"
I heard a bird sing
In the dark of December.

--Oliver Herford

Sing it, Mom. Sing it every day. Christ is coming! He is coming soon!

And everything you do in the meantime matters.

I've never had much use for September.

Why do I need someone to tell me this so often?
