Notes About The Poem

What Christmas Means To Me

By a cozy little fire
‘neath a soft lit Christmas tree
I just can’t help but think about
what Christmas means to me

I think about my Mom and Dad 
so thankful they’re still here 
though Dad was never really one
for lots of Christmas cheer

I think about my children 
all grown up and on their own
each one doing all they can
to make a happy home

I think about my husband
and how lucky I must be 
of all the girls in all the world 
his gifts are just for me

I think about the friends I’ve made
while most have come and gone
A bank of memories overflow 
with gladness overdrawn

I think about the choices 
I have made throughout my life 
how each was like a stepping stone 
how some were filled with strife 

I think about the hard times 
and the person I might be 
without the love from God above
to see things differently

My heart is filled with blessings
God has given graciously 
by a cozy little fire 
‘neath a soft lit Christmas tree

Have a lovely Christmas and a happy new year. Tom Jeannie Cronin December 22, 2021 at 8:23 AM Thank you, Tom. Best of the holiday season to you and yours as well. ~ Jeannie
