It's almost August and that house
boldly displays Christmas decorations.
A decorated tree prevails in the porch,
lamps of different colors adorn the walls.
It's almost August and no one's heart
echoes Christmas carols or joy,
but the Nativity persists in the house.
Maybe it houses a family who decided
to remind us that every day is Christmas.
Or perhaps it houses solely an old woman
who, accustomed to the passage of time,
knows that before long it'll be Christmas.
