Right Before Christmas
right before christmas
we eat a hearty breakfast and share raindrop memories
we both know that tomorrow may not be filled with yuletide bliss
we pray together for snow, laughter, and the remaining
we cry together when we think about what could come
mistletoe is the theme of possible finality
poinsettias is the hope that the joy of miracles is still believable
we wait by listening to free jazz and drinking swiss miss with the marshmallows
we stare at the view of the intracoastal waterway while conjuring up poems about tears
we sing songs from the 50s and early 60s to dissipate some of our many fears
now it is midnight and i hold you close to me....our heartbeats kissing rhythmically
we whisper merry christmas to each other and remain stock still
wondering what the next year will bring, she reaches for a gift to give to me
i tell her no need, she is the gift that i will treasure forever....
for everyday with her is a holiday....
