Country Girl48 Poet Rhyme

A Christmas I Won'T Forget

I will never forget our Christmas tradition
At my parents home when I was young.
First, we got out of bed before mom and dad
In our stocking we'd look, to see what we had.

We would start getting impatient
Wanted to get our parents out of bed
Finally, we gathered in the living room
Names on gifts were then read

So anxious to see, we opened them up
My brother Dave bought a huge candy bar
For the four of us kids, there we stood
Knew it was the best by far.

Dad then would read from the Bible
About Jesus in the manger that night
People gathered together with gifts
It was a beautiful sight

He then bowed his head to pray
Before Christmas carols were sung
I look over to see my brother or sister
Smile then stick out their tongue.

Cona Adams January 2, 2015 at 11:46 AM I give it a seven, Melanie. The excitement in children's hearts on Christmas morning comes through strong in your poem. I grew up in extreme poverty. We hung a stocking, and received a piece or two of fruit, nuts, and hard candy. Our excitement matched yours, because those were luxury items at that time in our lives. Thanks for sharing. Country Girl48 January 2, 2015 at 12:08 PM Ty Cona! Those were definitely good days. Glad you enjoyed it.
