A Country
Christmas ~
Christmas was
always a special
time
In the country
so long ago
Firelight danced
on windowpanes
As hearts began
to glow.
As a child, I
yet remember
Gathering around
the tree
Grandpa's old
time stories
Filled every
face with glee.
Savory smells
drifted through
the air
In a heavenly
atmosphere
Voices cracked
with happiness
As Christmas day
drew near.
Homemade pies
aligned the
shelves
Made by
Grandma's aging
hands
And something
spiritual
touched us all
As the Yuletide
swept the land.
T'was an ole
fashioned
country
Christmas
Blessed with
lots of
Christmas snow
Sleigh rides for
the young at
heart
And hanging
mistletoe.
Now my heart
fills up with
gladness
As the season
brings its cheer
When these
thoughts of mine
go back in time
To recapture
yesteryear.
