A surprise at sunrise

A surprise 

at sunrise

under the pillow

turns my mood mellow

It’s been a long time

celebrations and wine

replaced the small joys

of candy and toys

Santa in my dreams

Ho, ho, ho… he beams

Find me in your heart

decorating is an art

hopes in strings of light

cottony warmth just right

shining dolls and balls

A child’s voice recalls

A spirit left behind

A time to be kind

I hug my daughter tight

The tiny gift just right…
