It's December 1st, morning devotion begins,
My phone flickers with wishes, prayers it sends.
I ponder what has altered, why this sudden cheer,
Ah, ‘tis felicitation season, love's dance, crystal clear.

So let love dance, with feelings bare,
In tender steps and fragile care.
Let caution guide, our hearts aware,
To steer clear of bitterness’ cruel snare,
And avoid the depths of sorrow's deep end fair.

Spread love, let it flow like a graceful dove,
In every heart, may it find a place to hover.
Peace and joy, like a shining star above,
Let them unite, and the world will surely discover.

Come, let's gather, let's make it work,
Heart to heart, in this noble task we embark.
To put a smile on every face we meet,
In every street, house, and heart we greet.

Lend a hand of care, let kindness prevail,
Bring joy to souls, let smiles never pale.
For in this world, so vast and wide,
May compassion and love be our guide.
