Nearing Solstice

Days have grown shorter,
winter has wrapped its deep white coat
around the shoulders of the ground.
I have spotted the tracks of raccoon,
deer and lots of birds have been by the berry bushes
to fill up on daytime snacks.
Soon Dad and I will make our annual trek
out into the woods in search
of a tree for the solstice celebration,
and Yule log for the fire.
Dad says that this year there even might be enough
for some mint candy,
and a small bottle of toilet water for mom.
I made a stick doll with a straw head,
a scrap of cloth as a dress to give to sis.
How much better can a holiday get than this?
