The clickety clack of the horses shoe
Pulling a sleigh only built for two
Bringing me on my way to see you
We frolicked and played in the rather deep snow
Built an old Saint Nick
Using your fathers old red shoes
We gave him a reindeer
It too built from snow
With an old marble for a red shiny nose
Like two little kids
We rolled in the snow
Up and down the hills we/'/d go
Hand and hand
Laughing so hard
It was about all that we could stand
We hugged and kissed by the fire
Our hearts filled with love and good cheer
A magical time it truly was
Those were the good ole days
Christmas may come and go
Much too often as everyone knows
Come December when it snows
All that I can think of
Is the young girl
I used to know

Sweet Dreams Of Christmas Past

Those sweet dreams of Christmas past
The clickety clack of the horses shoe
Pulling a sleigh only built for two
Bringing me on my way to see you
We frolicked and played in the rather deep snow
Built an old Saint Nick
Using your fathers old red shoes
We gave him a reindeer
It too built from snow
With an old marble for a red shiny nose
Like two little kids
We rolled in the snow
Up and down the hills we/'/d go
Hand and hand
Laughing so hard
It was about all that we could stand
We hugged and kissed by the fire
Our hearts filled with love and good cheer
A magical time it truly was
Those were the good ole days
Christmas may come and go
Much too often as everyone knows
Come December when it snows
All that I can think of
Is the young girl
I used to know

James: What a holiday delight! You have written us all a Hallmark Card! Your story has all the magical images of Christmas woven into the story; but the one that touches me most is the central theme--love. Each scene is from a time not far behind us, that only a handful of us were lucky enough to experience.
Thank you for taking me there; it is a deeply sentimental treasure; from one of my favorite curmudgeon wanna-bes on YPDC.

I really like this James. It emanates memories and paints a mental picture that kept me smiling the whole way through.

I like your happy poems....happy breeds happy...sadness breeds sadness.

This is a nice holiday poem. Lots of sweet sentiments and smile-inducing winter fun.
It/'/s good to be a kid again.

// Ah you capture that magic of the holiday so much in this one. It`s also so sweet and tender with the bit of reminiscence at the end. Perhaps a bit of loneliness in missing her?

Great write!!!

Thank you,

Dugan
