December in Paris

It’s December 

In one of the most wondrous places

Paris

The skies are painted gray

Rain is in the air

A hint of snow perhaps 

Apartments have a cold feel 

Paris 

Yet the streets are adorned 

With holiday decorations 

Shops show their prettiest wares

Chocolates and goodies

Paris 

Churches offer holiday programs 

Stores busy with shoppers 

Downtown lights decorated with pink

Stores regaled in gold and silver

Cafes full of people sipping coffee 

Hiding from the cold

It’s Paris in December
