It is a family tradition Passed from year to year That we spend together And celebrate with cheer As the first snowflakes fall We hear mama’s voice call "It’s time for hot cocoa; Come one and come all" She asks nothing in return Just quality time to share Making each cup special To show how much she cares Now anxiously we wait When leaves begin to fall That cup of love to come With winters first snowfall Copyright © 2009 Lena “Lolita” Townsend
