Christmas Spirit,
Of long ago,
Show me your face
Once more,
So I may stroll
Back again,
In my mind's eyes
To bygone days,
When I was so young
And fresh.
Sweet memories were then,
Of gingerbread houses,
Blinking lit up trees and
Eating apple pies.
Warmed up by the fire,
And the sudden kisses
Under the mistletoe.
Christmas spirit
Of long ago,
Show me that bright
Magic,
Once more.
The friendly warmth
Of an open smile,
The crackling sound of
Laughter,
Sheer and joy!
The warmth of a fireplace,
Melting snow
Everywhere.
The sweet fragrance of
Roses and cloves,
Cinnamon,chestnuts and vanilla
Candles
In the air.
Christmas wreaths,
Hanging from my front
Door.
Trails of glowing
Color lights,
To hear carols sung
Everywhere and
The mixed sounds of tinkle bells.
Music, kids and toys,
Candy canes and wrapped presents,
Tinseled paper,
Open boxes in christmas day,
Forgotten ribbon on the floors.
And in the air still,
The scent of fallen pines,
Tracks on the wet soiled snow
by rubber boots.
Christmas Spirit,
Of long ago
Wherever you are,
Show me your face like
You had done before,
Bring me all the love,joy and
Peace!
That so happy I can
Get.
Around the corner already,
I can hear
Your tinkling bells and
Dear and jolly Santa
Is for us now,
On his way!
