Christmas greetings!
MERRY CHRISTMAS:a pantoum


May this Merry Christmas bring,
Again, a year happy, new.
May the sweet memories cling,
Sweet tidings as I bring you.

Again a year happy, new,
And many more thereafter,
Sweet tidings as I bring you.
I wish you without falter.

And many more thereafter,
I wish successes in life.
I wish you without falter,
Victory in every strife.

I wish successes in life.
May you always be at peace.
Victory in every strife,
May truly be your with ease.

May you always be at peace.
May you get whate’er you willed.
May truly be your, with ease,
Each single desire fulfilled.

May you get whate’er you willed.
May the sweet memories cling.
Each single desire fulfilled,
May this Merry Christmas bring.
