Be As Children

be as children

smile
light your face 
with Christmas
be a child again
if just for this season. 

kiss the morning star
and wish it well	
turn your reddened cheeks
into winters folly
throw a snowball, build a fort.

drink hot chocolate 
laced with marshmallows
feel it warm all the way down
close your eyes and remember
snow angels on the lawn.
