‘Tis the Season

With the start of the season we know
That no matter wherever we go
Whether moving quite quick or so slow
In the sunlight we’ll stand and we’ll glow
So we may share some of our inner light
Despite living above or below

The form/rules:

1-xxxxxxxxa
2-xxxxxxxxa
3-xxxxxxxxa
4-xxxxxxxxa
5-xxxxxxxbxx
6-xxbxxxxxa

So line 5 is 10 syllables in length; the other 5 lines are 9 syllables. Also, the “b” rhyme is somewhere near the end of line 5 and somewhere in the first half of line 6–so those rhymes could move back and forth to suit your needs.
