Joys of a Christmas Past

On that Blessed Christmas morn, we watched with great delight one of nature’s finest shows, Streets were being covered by the silent falling of pure fluffy snow, Evergreen were decorated with strings of twinkling lights, They shimmered like stars, illuminating the night. Around the Christmas tree, the laughter of children full of excitement and joy, Busy exchanging and opening gifts of sweets and Santa’s toys, Family and Friends happily sat beside each other, Sipping warm cocoa and homemade wine without a care or a bother. And on the festive table, a humble feast was laid, a place and plate for all, Of various foods that tradition calls, Moments like these are treasures found, In the company of loved ones, just being around. Gathered by the fire carols, we softly sang, Wrapping us in hope, they did bring, Each note, a gentle reminder, Binding us with warmth and love, keeping us together. And as the warmth from the hearth neared its end, a touch of sadness entered the heart, So let’s cherish such moments, as Christmas Day will surely depart, And so in prayers, let’s whisper a multitude of thanks and seeds of wishes continue to sow, For all around the world, peace and love, to spread and grow.

Dear Zyrool, the beauty of your nostalgic emotion and imagery brought me to the center of this idyllic Christmas scene with ease. Your last stanza is deeply touching, filled with gratitude and a heartfelt plea "For all around the world, peace and / love, to spread and grow." Yes, let's all whisper prayers for world fruition of "peace and love". Warmest wishes for a wonderful new year my poet friend.. ~Susan
