It's

that

time

of year

 

when

spells

are weaved

on those

tiny faces,

 

In

every town

and

city,

a

smile

that

portrays

the

coming

weeks

and

days

 

are full of

whispered secrets

by candle's glow,

hidden gifts whose shapes

are wrapped will soon be

discovered beneath a tree of twinkling lights.

I stilll remember when it was real fun to be a kid at Christmas. Made me smile. Thanks, Jenny.

This does bring nostalgia, not so much personal, but a feeling that generally how much children in our 'rich' lands are losing the thrill of simple presents that bring so much more joy, especially if the family aren't put under financial burdens by them and have more time for 'family happy time', and where there is real poverty, so many still feel their children need those expensive, passing toys.

The shape of the candle/tree was clever'! Rhiannon

Hi Rhiannon,

you're certainly right about the simple presents being the best. I remember loving crayons, colouring books, puzzles and a new doll, maybe even an annual of Beano or Dandy, such gifts were a wonderful surprise.

I'm glad you liked the shape of the candle, I wanted to type in many 'glows' surrounding the flame, but it wouldn't let me do it...oh well! Never mind.

I'm glad you enjoyed and thank you for your comment.

Jenny.

Hello Di,

I'm so pleased you got the feeling of this poem. I was saying to Rhiannon, I wanted to type in many 'glows' around the flame at the top, but the spacing wouldn't let me do it which is a shame because I think it would have set the candle off. 

But I'm glad you got the magic and thank you for letting me know.

Jenny.
