Christmas Altitude



Happy childhood flight down the stairs for kids,
smiles a mile wide
Looking for toy surprises ... 
youthful spirits soaring sky high
Joyous laughter with each gift unwrapped
Parent Santas open the door
for a sleigh runway
Flying feet on a brand new bicycle,
reaching the proper Christmas altitude
Landing gear wheels spinning
on a motion vertical
Rubber stop from the new kick heels
Christmas sonic boom delight ... 
journey of love return hugs — 
Angelic-winged euphoric sighs 
coming back down to earth

So true that last line.. sadly the spirit does not last all year round.. and what about those children who get very little as Xmas.... The sadness of commercialisation...
