One of the Best

Gone were silver tinseled trees reflecting smiling faces on snowy Christmas Eves as everyone embraces Multitudes of presents wrapped in iridescent charm no longer graced the mantle of a fire, safe and warm Sequined stockings, red and green awaiting eager fill missing, maybe tucked away having lost their will Despite the Jingle Bells on Silent Nights coins were few our fortunes had dwindled they sometimes do So, that year had no glitter just some cookies and some cake a box of memories, to keep just for old time’s sake Another thing had changed it was just the two of us and our love had grown facing hardships, that we must So with our tiny dime store tree and really not much more we sang our songs and laughed our laughs like Christmas’s before And though there were no ribbons on our Christmas love confessed we had one of the best, One of the very best!
