So many ducks on Christmas Day
I can't count them,
Drakes, momma hen, chicks, they're all gems.
A brilliant blue sky up above,
It brings to mind eternal love.
It feels like spring-time of the year,
Everything's blooming, not austere.
Such a minor thing to behold,
But it is as precious as gold.
I will remember this Christmas Day forever,
And each time I do I'll say my cheers!

Years ago when I lived down your way, Metairie mostly as far as living, but much time spent far down the bayous - - - I remember lots of similar days . . . you brought them back to life.

I'll be back in Louisiana in just a few weeks - and can't wait! Until then, I have your poem... to be a reminder of coming attractions. Love it!
