Christmas Walk

He’ll take a walk on Christmas day pass by the hill where children sleigh; then pause to hear them laugh and cheer. He can still hear them loud and clear; though long since now, they passed away. On frozen lake, an ice ballet, a beau gives out a red bouquet. To relive times when she was here; he’ll take a walk Fondly recalls, with mirth, when they gave him the yellow snow sorbet; the rascals did it year on year! He wipes away a frozen tear; to recollect, on Christmas day he’ll take a walk.

A dramatic and emotion filled poem, Terry. Isn't it intriguing how the tragedies in our lives can bless us through pleasant memories of those we've lost. I mindful things you chose to do on a Christmas day, my friend. A win-win in the end. Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! A poet friend in Texas, Bill

So beautifully pensive, Terry. Tears mingled with happy memories. There is saying among skiers "don't eat the yellow snow!" I love the sense of mischief in this poem. There is a pensive sweetness in your words - longing mixed memory. Best wishes for a win! Blessings!
