Visions
Christmastime
Christmastime! Magictime!
So much a little boy
didn't understand
but thoroughly enjoyed!
White Christmas
in St. Paul, Minnesota?
You bet! Thirty below and snow!
Sledding, snow forts, snowball fights!
The beauty of the snow,
clinging to the bare branches of the trees!
Christmas toy time,
from October, November, to December!
Three months of serious toys,
big dolls and doll houses for the girls,
Chemistry sets, Erector Sets and
Lionel and American Flyer trains for the boys!
Department store window displays!
Family time, relatives for Christmas dinner!
Unwrapping Christmas presents Christmas morning!
Going to church together, candlelight services!
Decorating the Christmas tree,
the beautiful light strings, mystical and magical!
The electric train running around the base
covered with a white, snowlike sheet
going to far destinations
in a little boy's imagination
who would,one day,
travel to the ends of the Earth!
