Panagiota Romios Poet Blank verse

A Magical Family Christmas

         A Magical Family Christmas

The smell of flickering, tall balsam candles,
reflecting on the mirrored wall.

Heavenly music dancing mixed with the loving 
voices of a large, close family.

The Noble Fir standing like a grand king, his
aromatic good cheer , is back, like last year.

Piles of presents, almost halfway to the ceiling,
wrapped with love.

Bowls of nuts, chocolates, candy canes and bon-
bons~ ah~the sweetest smell.

Oh, the excitement , so bright, this fantastic
Holy Night.

Our children, grandchildren, going to sleep in
giggling, anticipatory delight.

I wish it were more than once a year, the love,
the wholesomeness of family.

Always brings on grateful, holiday,happiness tears.

Tom Panagiota Romios December 21, 2019 at 6:33 PM We both know the joy and love of a family...it's so special. It made us the dazzling people we are. They loved us, we learned right from wrong. That is a gift I never thought of till now! We are so blessed and it's been a joy knowing you this year, Tom. Merry Christmas Panagiota xxx
