Christmas is coming
My heart is aflame
so much to look forward to
so much will stay the same.
This will be the first Christmas
that Long John and I
have spent as husband and wife
This will be the first Christmas
my sons will spend it under "our" roof.
They have been here before and know the routine
But not at the magical time when we trim a Christmas tree.
I want everything to be perfect
I want the sun and moon and stars to shine
I want to see the light reflected in thier eyes once more
Because, 10 short days later
They will once again walk out the door.
Making memories in short sentences
Is a hard hard thing to do
And it has to last a lifetime
Before there is so much more to do.
A tree to trim
Packages to choose and wrap
Shopping for a turkey
and vegtables too
and then all at once it over,
the magic of Christmas morn...
And for a few more days
In the bright winter haze
We will be a family of five...
instead of just two.
But as the new year breaks
And the sun rises high
We will have to say our goodbyes...
Off into the west sky they will fly.

this was very touching. Hope the memories are twice as good.

Really enjoyed your family Christmas adventure, I'm sure it will turn out as beautiful if not more then you described here. You also made me realize how close it has come to being here already.
