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.
