Favorite game show
Awesome contestant
Answer’s fandango
Sleeping wide awake
No longer dreaming
Clock striking midnight
Netflix still streaming
Sailing oceans blue
First mate now sleeping
Craft found, back on course
Prize’s safekeeping
Shifting direction
Away from sailing
Compass pointing west
Dreamtime’s unveiling
Sweeping “Price is Right”
Morning now shifting
New day with new wheels
Sports car downshifting
Facing life’s daily quest
Overflowing with dreams
Facing rapids, hard-pressed
Paddling always, downstream
Merging spirit with change
Searching truth’s answer key
Riding each lonely range
Realizing, life shall be
Saddling up with vigor
Savoring life today
Overcoming rigor
Finding another way
Witnessing life’s next stage
Moving over new ground
Exciting silver age
Traveling now westbound
Navigating with ease
Following sunset’s glow
Catching each friendly breeze
Looking for tomorrow
Wishes spring from dreams
Benevolent actions serve—
Destiny calling
Walking endless miles
Faithful boots always ready—
Echoing wisdom
Joining together
Solving life’s cherished puzzle—
Heart’s bits and pieces
December’s barren ground
Autumn now long over
Snowflakes flying, earthbound
Winter’s white sweet clover
Village sleeping tonight
Children dreaming of snow
Crystal-clear sky’s moonlight
Changing to whitest glow
Beginning to drop in
Targeted flurries fall
Playful snowstorm begins
Winter finally calls
Snowy pace never wanes
Flakes now piling up high
Truckers reaching for chains
Driving where snowballs fly
Wishful, children wake up
Stirring with loudest cheers
Sleds ready for tune-up
White Christmas comes this year

Night returning from flight
Waking to sunrise
Goodbye for now moonlight
