Three Girls by Phil Hearing
A daughter born
In December summer
Half a world away
I was playing songs
Not realizing just
How much my world
Had changed
Two months later
Again with her mother
Beneath the snow, the sun
Vows unspoken
Yet said-
Soon our day will come
I love the lines “In December summer | Half a world away” as it makes me wonder what it’s like to celebrate the “winter” holidays when you live in a place where December is a summer month. Be it snow or sun, there’s cause for celebration regardless of the season.
