Christmas Is

by

Marcia Miller-Twiford

 

Candy canes and sugar plum fairies
sneaking kisses �neath the mistletoe
brightly wrapped packages under the tree
sweet children�s faces all aglow.

Sounds of Christmas carols
cuddling up by the fire�s glow
the scent of pine and cinnamon
little tin soldiers all in a row.

Cookies to bake and fudge to make
pauses to think of Christmas' past
inevitably letting go a heart-felt sigh
for those memories which last and last.

Midst the hustle and bustle the day comes
when in reverence we remember
it�s our Lord�s birthday we celebrate
on the twenty-fifth of each December.
