Gift Me Radiant Smiles

Gift me radiant smiles and And the beauty of a horse's neck. Gift me glens of green, Pastures pure, and distant tideless shores. Gift me red velvet bows of Christmas spirit, And happy-drunk uncles, and cousins and pets. Get me a photo of last time, When grandpa and grandma were alive, And the kitchen and basted turkey were one scent. Find me a family growing, eager to toot political Hoopla to the family dining, or the aunt Not related, never speaking, ingenious And quietly correct. Stop the now and rewind this scene, I long for the gift of those years forgotten, ego's urge unrelenting To further move out of the sharpness of youngness, into the blur Of since then.
