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 Heidi Sands 12/1/19
