A Precious Memory

Shutting the lights on today's rayon memories 
I trade them in for a moment on the heart 
Tinseled thoughts  of chivalrous stories  
of ancient tales, retold from ear to mouth   

Christmas expectations and blue spruce oblations 
snow squalls and  blizzards, sub zero weather 
Inside our dotting duplex a life of rotation 
a father daughter union, together we tethered   

beneath the well lit recall of yesterday's demise,  
lives a treasured memory of father 's minced up pies.
