A Precious Memory

Shutting the lights on today's rayon memories I trade them in for a moment on the heart Tinseled thoughts of chivalrous stories of ancient tales, retold from ear to mouth Christmas expectations and blue spruce oblations snow squalls and blizzards, sub zero weather Inside our dotting duplex a life of rotation a father daughter union, together we tethered beneath the well lit recall of yesterday's demise, lives a treasured memory of father 's minced up pies.

That last couplet is so adorable, Mystic. Were you 'daddy's special girl?' (I know my daughter, firstborn of my four kids, sure was). Season's best, Gershon

It is always that way. I remember mother's Christmas puddings. Alas we have to be brave and live without them. Hugs.
