Poem
Another Christmas season has arrived, at last and like so many others from Yuletides past, I'm glad some things have remained unchanged Although the furniture has been rearranged. Across the room, a fire crackles and burns Jenny has grown; for love, her heart yearns I recall when all she wanted was a baby doll and skates for the new ice rink in the mall I've been unpacked in just enough time to see my family hanging ornaments upon their fir tree. Garlands of holly berries and popcorn strung The green velvet stockings beneath me are hung There's gingerbread scent and carols on the radio Dad sneaked a kiss from Mom under the mistletoe The angel nods to me as she's lifted into place atop the tree. She once told me her name is Grace. There's old Kaci, the collie, fast asleep on his rug Grandpa looks sad. I wish I could give him a hug Mom is headed for the mantle to give me a shake She's always gentle, taking care I don't break. I was a gift from her Mom on Christmas, long ago when she had asked Santa to please bring her snow, but snow didn't fall in the South where she resided. I was the closest thing Santa had lovingly provided Tears fill Mom's eyes as my snow starts to flurry I've become a bit cloudy and that makes her worry, but I'll see her smile again Christmas Eve night when she puts me in Jenny's stocking by fire light.
