CHRISTMAS UPON A TIME By Tempie
Copyright © 2010
Once upon a time, there was toys and noise Chatter amongst families and friends Everywhere were evergreen smells Christmas lights, shining bright Christmas Trees and mistle toes Spiced apples and eggnod smells Preparation and cooking Lasted for days Where have you gone?
A warmth existed you just couldn’t explain At home, work ,streets, in the snow or rain Strangers were nowhere to be found Faces glowed with big full smiles Not enough days and nights For making list for cards And even buying gifts Lasted so long Where have you gone?
Face to face encounters were ever so nice Waiting anxiously for mail was a way of life No internet mainly monitoring long distance calls No webcams, mobiles, skpe or texts Trying to stay up on Christmas Eve night To see if there was a Santa or not? Going to rehearse to be in a play Practicing your lines every day Where have you gone?
Putting on your Sunday go to church clothes Going to Church and hearing the story of Jesus Christ Singing carols and seeing him laying in a manger Going back home to a big family dinner Still giving and friends coming with gifts Taking food to your elders and to the sick Going back to buy more batteries Before all the stores do close Where have you gone?
