CHRISTMAS PAST

THE SOUND OF BELLS AT

EARLY DAWN LIKE MUSIC
FROM AFAR. SOFT GENTLE
BREEZE, THE WORLD AT
PEACE
THOSE JOYFUL HYMNS AND
WARM HELLOS, THE
CANDYCANES AND
COLORED BOWS; ALL
THESE AND LOVE ARE
MEMORIES OF
MY CHRISTMAS PAST.
THOSE WONDROUS TOYS OF
GIRLS AND BOYS, THE
CHEER THAT SANTA
BRINGS,
THAT GLORIOUS TALE OF
SHEPERD BOYS OF ANGELS
AND OF KINGS
A CHRISTMAS TREE WITH
LIGHTS AGLOW, SOME
COTTON SNOW AND
MISTLETOE, ALL THESE
AND LOVE ARE MEMORIES
OF
MY CHRISTMAS PAST.
SILVER AND GOLD, RED AND
GREEN: COLORS OF A
WONDERFUL SCENE.
MEMORIES THEY KEEP
RETURNING AND I’M LIKE A
CHILD AGAIN.
 IF THERE’S A PLACE IN
TIME AND SPACE WHERE
CHRISTMAS PAST HAS
GONE,
I’LL SURELY TRY IF I COULD
FLY
TO SEE THAT EARLY DAWN.
 AND SHARE AGAIN THAT
CHRISTMAS PAST WITH ALL
THOSE WHO HAVE GONE.
BUT THOSE MEMORIES
WILL FOREVER LIVE
WITHIN MY HEART.
