My Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas

All the presents were wrapped

As I sit in silence ready to nap

My mind starts wandering

About things from the past

I suddenly realize that life moves so fast

But all I remember is good times that last

No longer a child, I have snow colored hair

But I smile like a boy that accepts any dare

Christmas Day is finally here

It's not the presents that make me cheer

As much as my Family and Friends that are near

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
