Christmas--Red Velvet Memories
Oh, that tender excitement of being a
very young girl!
Wrapped in a red velvet housecoat with white, soft, fur.
Vermillion slip-on slippers with fur that matched.
The gigantic flocked white Christmas tree stood, towering
like supreme royalty.
In that huge bay window, she reigned, the sparking bay window.
covered with Chicago's dancing frost.
The fireplace on, made me overcome with tender joy.
My faithful dog, Cappy, on my lap, looked up at me.
He shared these memorable moments, my youthful serenity!
I wish I had this picture in a precious snowball kept.
Happiness in me cannot be crushed or melted.
It lives on in my quiet soul, untouched and undaunted.
A crystal, real picture of a young poetess's past.
God blessed my ife, beyond what I ever had asked!
