Christmas Memories
The echoing of laughter,
childrens' voices clear
When op'ning Christmas presents,
in the bygone years
Rememb'ring all the happy looks,
anticipating eyes
Pulling paper off their gifts,
revealing their surprise
The Christmas tree all lit up,
with decorations fine
The candle's wick is burning,
releasing fragrant pine
Christmas is a wonderous time,
as all of us know
A time for friends and family
and sledding in the snow
The giggles and the clattering,
of children and their toys
Watch them run and play,
my little girl and boy
It seemed back then time would stand still,
forever it would be
But here it is now years gone by,
just a memory
The echoed laughter, smiling eyes,
sweet fragrance in the air
'Now in my heart just memories,
forever, they'll be there
