Christmas time approaches,

Christmas baking begins, with endless labor and love,

Christmas cards arrive,

Cakes baked and frozen,

Cookie baking begins, with endless labor and love,

Counted, packaged and prepared,

Countless kinds, flavors and

  Colors, created with endless hours of labor and love,

Candies packaged and prepared,

"> 

          Care and love packed into every one,          

Creatively decorated, then names written on each

Container, with endless labor and love,

Countless little gifts of love,

Countless loving thoughts of family and friends,

Countless hours of labor and love,

Created with gentle kindness and

Compassion, true gifts of labor and love,

Carefully carried, then delivered,

Christmas time has arrived,

Cakes and cookies consumed and treasured,

Caring labor and love appreciated,

Couldn't count the endless hours caringly spent

Creating tasty morsels with labor and love, then packaged into bursting

Containers full of cookies, cakes and candies - given with love.
