Heidi Sands Poet Free verse

Remember the Days

Remember the days, we put on our mittens and hats
Ventured out in the cold to sing carols at neighbor’s houses
Sometimes, surrounded by sparkling flakes under lamplights
Cheerfully singing our chosen Christmas songs with glee
Rosy cheeks, with smiles and happiness in the night
Sometimes, welcomed inside with trust to eat a cookie
Other times offered something warm to have to drink
Then waving goodbye to the smiling faces we left behind
Remember the days, filled with the spirit of Christmas
Love shared at houses, those cold nights on long streets

Chris Green December 2, 2019 at 9:28 AM I remember those days when life was simple and snow meant no school and fun days. Beautifully done my friend.

Anisha Dutta December 1, 2019 at 11:23 PM Heidi. Christmas is celebrated all over world, even in Non-Christian Community. Carols are not sung, but get together, exchange of gifts, warm wishes, baking cake etc. are in plenitude. Populace in festive mood. Heidi Sands December 1, 2019 at 11:49 PM Yes. Thank you for your comment Anisha :) Goodnight!
