DO YOU REMEMBER?
Sleighs drawn by horses with
collar bells
Snow drifts 6 or more feet high,
Animals sheltered in blizzards by
lean to`s
And cabin smoke swirling high.
Long johns from Roebucks
Mittens and scarves made by
grams,
Icicles glistening on edge of tin
roofs
and big folks evening whispered
sigh plans.
Or watching through frosted
windows
intricately designed by
`he then, called jack frost,
Searching the skies
wondering
if it were possible,that Ole
Santa might get lost.
The smell of sweet hot chocolate
warming
on the old black pot bellied
stove,
Along with the smell of fresh
baked cider donuts
or new bread rising by 5 or 6
loaves.
The `Night before Christmas read
to the young
sitting attentively at gramps
knees,
The smoke from his pipe swirling
that resembled a mornings mists
tease.
His giggle, the jolly smile on
his face
as he gave into a big neck
stretching yawn,
Saying, we`d best get Santa`s
treats ready
as his visit time approaches -
it`s beddy bye time
and too soon .... it`ll be
dawn....
