Le Voyage Magnifique

Magic

On a cold winter day,

aroma gives notice
Grandma's baking gingerbread
made with molasses
and overflowing love,

while children laugh and play
with snowman in the yard,

until their mom calls them in
to trim the Christmas tree
and savor scrumptious meal.

Once again, we enjoy
the magic of family
gathered 'round the hearth.

Mistletoe and moonlight
stoke romantic embers
to keep the family growing.
