Christmas Friends December 9, 1948

In the same old

            friendly way,

On the same old

            friendly day,

I wish you Christmas

            gladness

Through all the years

             to stay.

There's never a Christmas

            morning,

There's never an old

             year ends,

But it's trysting

             time in memory

With dear old times--

             old friends.

    Comes Christmas time the

             old year ends

Renewing ties and thoughts

              of friends.
