Christmas Came On a Frosty Day
Soft dawn light...
Broke in the east
Pink and red,
in late December
Christmas came on a frosty day...
What I can remember.....
This time, so long ago
So many years passed by
Yet, I remember
The cold winter in that December
The geese long since gone south
Honking cry,
in an Autumn sky
I was a merest wisp of a boy
All I ever wanted....
was that toy....
I was seven...
You know...
On that frosty Christmas day
Back then....
Cold winters, come and go
I am old ,you know...
Yet, I remember that Christmas
On a frosty day,
back then....
In deep snow...
I was seven....
Most of the family have passed on,
gone to heaven
I remember how the candles shone,
long ago
I am old , you know....
I was seven..
Then...
We were poor, you know
back then...
Long ago
I was seven...
A mere wisp of a boy
I am old now,
but I still remember
My favourite Christmas...
My favourite toy....
I was seven
Christmas came on a frosty day....
Like so many since then
I still have that toy...
By my bed
I am eighty seven,
you know...
and still a boy.....
