CHRISTMAS
DAY NIGHT
By
Arlene Levin (c) 1983
Dreaming of castles in the
snow
We sat in the warm
candlelight
Eating sweet meats and sipping
our tender joys and sorrows.
Earlier that afternoon I watched
the bright sun bring the squirrels
to feed on the seeds
of a near by maple tree.
Quiet were the days and nights.
I was miles from home.
It was Christmas and now it's past.
We're left with the fine memories,
a few toys, an amazing snow
and New Years to look forward to.
