As a child, I remember my days back home It was Deep Creek, Wisconsin being the fun times on the Farm where I roamed Holiday times with the Winter fallen Snow It was the cold wind with soothing warmth of love Home was everything to think of I remember the Hot Chocolate being refreshing accompanied with Marshmallows We had a Fireplace Because I lived on a farm, we chopped our Christmas Tree and decorated it in the house The Christmas Tree would be placed on the right side I had a Union Pacific Passenger Train Toy set, and it added the effect going around the Christmas Tree It would be my Father and I together admiring the whole scene of the Christmas Tree and Train set You can imagine the joy on my face in the Christmas season All for good reason My Dad told me stories from Charles Dickens, “The Christmas Carol” The story was an awkward twist, but the holiday feel was no hit and miss I would fall asleep, and Mom and Dad would give me a kiss When Morning came, I would rush downstairs to see what Santa left It would be gifts of all kinds from clothes to toys The holiday wouldn’t mean anything without the warmth of love in being loved by a family Those were my memories They cherished well among the stars twinkled along with the Moon smile A lifetime of dreams Tomorrow enriched with living day by day My Parents have passed away But I remember them every day Yet my heart says I was blessed Holiday thoughts into one stocking My life throughout Holiday thoughts Holiday ** and Snow A child’s spirit putting you in the know.
