Christmas Time

A long gaze
out the window
you see the cold road
covered in bright
white winter snow
as the cold wind blows 
you hold close 
the hot mug of chocolate to unfroze 
your tingling fingers and toes
tiny balls of marshmallows floating on top
like fallen snow balls that drop
to fill the stockings up with presents
this time of year, is about spending time 
with family and friends, peers
as the nights drawing in
my son's was making his 
Christmas list
i see how happy he his 
and i feel like the kid
holding his dreams, as i kiss
him good night 
dressing up as Santa for the night
the feeling of Christmas morning, as a child
now as a farther i get to see my child’s smile
hands frozen from making our snowman
grab the hat and scarf take a picture that will last
for ever that's how i can relive this moment
in this poem
as we watch as Rudolf reindeer
flying over the night sky
the family round the table festive cheer 
as the night
closes drinking wine and beer 
laughing and joking
gone has another year,
breathing in the heated air
as I'm falling asleep in grandpa's chair......
