Sometimes I go back and read through my previously written posts…and I believe my words are still as fresh today as when I first wrote them. This is a poem I wrote a few years back. Every time I read it I am transported back to my vivid childhood memories of Christmas’ past. Maybe you will be, too?
Christmas Memories
sky so bright.
Church lit at night
childhood delight.
I’ve known so long.
Family together,
in all kinds of weather.
Jumping up and down,
as snow hits the ground.
of all shapes and sizes.
Beautiful packages,
filled full of surprises.
Mom’s special albums,
of Nat King Cole,
Bing, and Sinatra,
their songs don’t grow old.
my sis and I watched.
Charlie Brown, The Grinch
and don’t forget Rudolph!
All these are wonderful,
and dear to my heart.
Memories mean so much
never to part.
But, above all else
what means the most…
is the proclamation of
the heavenly host.
“Unto you,
a Savior is born.”
With those words, everything changed
from that night on. —– Written by Dawn Gibson
Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is Christ the Lord. Luke 2:11 NIV
