Christmas Past

Christmas past We always had a Christmas tree My wife would decorate it without me So many gifts by the tree No empty space could you see Our little ones would crawl all around They would try climbing the gift mound Year after year on Christmas morning Kids tearing open gifts and I’m yawning The kids woke early on Christmas day We told the kids your older so go away With the years going by We could sleep longer my wife and I Now since its just me No more do I need a Christmas tree My kids now grown and they see What its like to do the Christmas tree

Hey, dont' they ever come back for a visit?That is what inspires ME to keep doing it. Even if they were not coming, I guess I"d still keep putting it up (helps when it's easy and artificial) Nice poem!!
