Christmas Thoughts
It reminded me of long ago.
The smell of pine bough
and candle light
on a cold winter night
with a fire warm we were kept
and in a cold bedroom we slept.
and candle light

with a fire warm we were kept
and in a cold bedroom we slept.
Wondering what the morning would bring
after family had gathered to sing
traditional songs like Holy Night
after family had gathered to sing
traditional songs like Holy Night
a tree decorated yet so bright
but the shoulders on which it all stood
was a manger of hay and wood -
the innocence of childhood long gone past
looking back a smile at last.
