Prairie Christmas Past

 

Looking through the frosted window

Swirling snow on rooftops

The wind repaints the canvas

Fading echoes of the footsteps.

 

My reflections take me back

As I gaze upon the scene

Snow-white angels and crystal icicles

To a time more like a dream.

 

Little children making snowmen

Coal black eyes and carrot nose

Laughter, song and hot cocoa

We came inside with frozen toes!

 

Warmed our souls by the blazing fire

Holly berries and candles bright

The Christmas tree wore strings of pearls

It sparkled late into the night.

 

Loving memories of Christmas past

A joyful, happy time of year

We reminisce and count our blessings

Christmas Day is almost here.
