A few Seasonal words from a Seasoned Citizen......

GHOSTS OF CHRISTMAS PAST

The hardest part of growing older
Is losing loved ones I hold dear.
Yet somehow Christmas seems no colder,
Instead it makes me feel they're near.
When children come from far off places
To play beneath my Christmas tree,
I recognize within their faces
Others only I can see.....

With thanks and a Tip O' My Hat to my friend Ben, of Maryland, Poet, Toastmaster, and always a Bright Light on the Horizon!
