A Christmas Poem

Another Christmas

Hanging the lights on the tree
my home smells like Christmas
the pine branches loaded with
ornaments filled with memories

Seems like it was Christmas
just a while ago but no,
a year has passed and here
I am decorating the manger.

Few figures are left after
all these years
perhaps the most important ones
are left, the angel, the sacred family
and a little lamb...

I turn off the lights and look
at the lighted tree
it shines, it looks nice
and I smile..

Another Christmas
presents, family and joy
grandchildren to tell
the story of the wise men
and the little star...
