Christmastime Is Like a Dream
"Christmas is a season of
not only rejoicing but of reflection. "
Quote by _ Winston Churchill
I unwrap the Christmas decorations,
stored in tattered boxes for years;
such old, delicate, fragile creations,
and I am soon weeping sad tears,
for I can hear the ghostly whispers !
Some have been passed down and down,
and now they all belong to me;
I see my great-gran shopping downtown,
where the snowflakes fall feathery,
as I place balls on my Christmas tree !
Yesteryear Christmas's joyful and sad,
I still feel all those gone above;
and knew that Santa was really my dad,
such great childhood wonder and love,
and outside is a chirping white dove !
Later, friends are coming over for some cheer,
do you wish pie, sugar cookie or a tart;
will serve coffee, tea, wine and beer,
Christmastime will always be in my heart,
and my memories will never depart !
