Christmas Long
Ago - A Christmas
Poem by Jo Geis
Frosty days and
ice-still
nights,
Fir trees
trimmed with
tiny lights,
Sound of sleigh
bells in the
snow,
That was
Christmas long
ago.
Tykes on sleds
and shouts of
glee,
Icy-window
filigree,
Sugarplums and
candle glow,
Part of
Christmas long
ago.
Footsteps
stealthy on the
stair,
Sweet-voiced
carols in the
air,
Stocking hanging
in a row,
Tell of
Christmas long
ago.
Starry nights so
still and blue,
Good friends
calling out to
you,
Life, so fact,
will always
slow...
For dreams of
Christmas long
ago.
