Oh what a wonderful celebration
Of holiday cheer,
Down Huntington Boulevard.
We will meet you there
To feel the joy of the Christmas lights,
Decorations designating the year.
Strings of lights are everywhere,
Neatly decorating the houses
Whispering to the crisp air
In delicate twinkles of vivid green
Or bejeweled bombardments of thickness,
And heavenly hung snowy brights.
Lights are strung and hung on eaves
Around Santas, Elves, and Angels
Boxes, and Doe-eyed Reindeer.
Entwined amidst the scattering leaves
Tightly strung in a winters sneeze
On evergreen boughs...
In tendrils coiled like ice cycle hair
Looped, swirled and divinely
Preened
Ready for eager Christmas Queens
As edgings along a balanced walk
As icing dribbled down a gingerbread door
As a glittering golden star atop a tall fur tree
As a NOEL splashed on a Red Berry Bush
Or "God Bless Our Troops"
Spelled out on the roof
(One days free labor of love in lights)
For our God to see
And for our people
Whose Christmas spirits shine
From our hearts,
Brighter than all the lights
Strung in every yard
On Hungtington Boulevard.
Dedicated to Huntington Boulevard, Fresno, California
