Christmas, 2008

So this was Christmas, 2008,

The day itself is soon to be over,

But the sentiments and feelings remain,

I saw all four of my beautiful grandchildren,

Gave them gifts and saw their delight.

The snow came down soft and light,

From before daylight to well after dark.

The view of the barn and the house with its lights,

Were soft in the shadows of the snow.

My daughter and I were snuggly for sure,

As we never got out of our jammies,

And the horses were peaceful and as cozy as could be,

In their heavy weight waterproof blankets.

And so thankful I am to the miracle we are a part of,

For my sister, today, was released from the hospital.

Still a long road ahead, she is so brave and strong,

That she fights the good fight to be victorious in the end.

And so, this was Christmas, 2008,

A wonderful, peaceful, miraculous day,

A day of new memories imprinted in time,

A day to be cherished and remembered.
