Some of my memories of Christmas as a child growing up in the 1950’s
December
Enters bringing
Joyful exuberance
Common days are filled with
Delight
As pleasant sights and sounds abound
And a giving spirit
Enters our hearts
Again
Butterfly Cinquain
On my shelf
Sit pieces of hearts
Of family.
Christmas gifts
Chosen by my daughter and grand-daughters.
My special treasures.

Memories of another Christmas
The smiles, laughter, excitement
Remnants of life experiences
Lie amongst the wrappings
Special moments saved
Stored away
In our hearts
Will bring
Joy
Nonet
It’s Christmas!
Counting my blessings.
Enjoying
My Family.
Celebrating Jesus birth.
Giving thanks to God.

Foggy Christmas Eve.
Needing a Daystar and Guide
To help find the Way.
Who will be my guiding Light?
Who’ll my Helper be,
In this world of dark and fright?
Lost in the darkness,
Crying out to the King on high!
He sends to earth His Prince of Peace.
Choka
I am come a light into the world, that whosoever believeth on me should not abide in darkness. –Jesus. John 12:46
Its almost Christmas!
Step out into the darkness
Shine a little brighter!
Senryu
Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works, and glorify your Father which is in heaven. Matthew 5:16
Shoppers rush to, fro
So many places to go
Christ is coming soon
Christ is coming soon
Yet we’ve places to go
In a rush to, fro
In a rush to, fro
Take time Him to know
Christ is coming soon
Senryu Cascade
At the end of Christmas Day, after all the excitement is over, the presents are opened, the wrappings are gathered up and thrown away, I am glad that the love of family remains. Peace on Earth—Goodwill to Men. Christmas Blessings to all.
