17 December
every year they come out
one by one
her time worn hands gently unwrapping the faded tissue paper
little fingers hastily looking through the old box of glittery treasures
just to find their favorite one to hang on a tree
in the exact right spot
~
let the storm blow as it will beyond these windows
the icy atlantic crashes against our rather tiny island
the snowy winds blast against our cozy home
all is well this night as we make memories
have yourself a merry little christmas
let your heart be light
from now on
our troubles will be out of sight
Thanks for the wishes,
ReplyDeleteAmen.
