Grrrrr....one more time



The tree was trimmed with Christmas ornaments galore,
and packages were brightly wrapped, all tied with bows.
The family all smiled, light snow began to fall;
we marveled at the picture from the warmth inside.

Saint Nick is on his sleigh, his toy bag ever full;
our children went to bed anticipating gifts.
We placed bright glowing lights around the sparkling tree,
and snuggled deep beneath the quilt till morning’s light.

Yet spirits unseen gather close, encircle 'round;
Our departed loved ones, they remain to rejoice
and celebrate with us this snowy festive night;
Each soul joined within night’s golden circle of love.
