lights glowing throughout the night
the air feels warm, even at ten below
as the snow cascades down
together we’ll treasure this time,
a gift that may not always be around
we sit by the warm crackling fire,
reading and sharing in the gifts
that are found in this life
(Poem 10 of Half Marathon)
You have truly caught the spirit of Christmas in this one. The love of the family, the memories, the weather, atmosphere – you have painted quite a picture in a very elegant manner.
