Another winter is coming
Time for a fire
As i sit here on the hearth
I remember that one Christmas.
It was ten years ago
Nice and white outside
Everyone in the family got together
First time in years
We all had one last present
From our grandfather
He was disabled and hadn't walked for awhile
So in his wheelchair he went into the hall
With cane in hand to help him
We all had to stay put
He showed up past the wall
Holding his cane up high
Not using it or the wheelchair
He walked
A major achievement.
I felt so proud of him
I felt so warm inside
And out (but that was due to the fire going)
That was the last Christmas
We were all truly together.
Looking back on it now
Brings tears to my eyes
For that will never happen again
The fire is starting to die now
Spring must be near
But that one Christmas
Will live forever in my heart.
~~Since Christmas is next month... thought I'd dig into my archived poems... True story
