Ghosts of Christmas Past

As Christmas Eve is nearly here again, my mind is full of childhood memories. I think of those no longer living, yet in dreams I see their smiles and hear their laughs, and though I wish with all my heart that they were here again, my heart is filled with warmth and gladness for the joy of Christmas Day. for Constance's Form B (Blank Verse) contest, written 23rd December 2016
