[bodytext] => I've tried to write a poem about Christmas time But I can't think of one single rhyme I know what I want my words to say My mind blanks out, no ideas, no way I visualize Christmas from my youthful years All I conjour up are holidays spent in fear My parents weren't exactly the toy buying kind They preferred their beer and bottled wine Occasionally, a neighbor would take pity on us A baby doll for me, my brother a fire truck I have no fond memories of a beautiful Christmas tree No decorations, no turkey dinner, no Santa's knee When I grew to be one of the adults with the chance To teach my children to do the Christmas dance I made sure their eyes only beheld the true magic light The joy, love, toys, all tis the wonder of Christmas night Year after year, I can still smell the new baby dolls Hear the clank of the trucks as they hit the walls Remember the joy of their little faces as they ran To see what Santa brought them, that magic man Now I'm the grandma, and time has stood still I dream of the magic, of all God's good will I'll keep this wonderful time as before Show them the real reason for the gifts and more Merry Christmas words have been found after all I can hang the decorations on the tree and wall I will watch with wonder as each face does glow As we share the sight of this wonderful Christmas show [comments] => 2 [counter] => 116 [topic] => 18 [informant] => dvtpdw [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Holiday Poetry )
