Comfort of Nostalgia
The rising, into its holder
All eyes a gaze
Completed, so Dazzling and oh the owe
The Christmas tree towers above the rest of the room
Bringing color to the space it looms
As you look through your decorations you are reminded
Of Christmas’s in the past
Oh how the years have wheeled on so fast
Each ornament has meaning
Each decoration that was given to you by your Mother
Or passed down from hers
Their memory held in your hand
As though it was planned
The scent of pine fragrance lingering in the air
As you and your loved ones create cheer
Old holiday music that never gets old
Its then you’re brought back to your days of innocents
Those childhood days
The sheer excitement of preparing for the big day
You and your siblings wild with anticipation
Freedom from school and gifts and food
All in the comforts of nostalgia
All in the memory of
A mood
