Star-frost lit nights and Christmas lights Enchanted scenes un-folding Across years or distance all the same Safely stored in holding One may wish for many things Not all will ring of truth Save close that sense of wonder Granted in your youth Reindeer flights of fancy Eiderdown of trust Enveloped from things chancy Thrice blessed and more so just In time-less grains of measure Now I make this plea Grant thee a child's treasure Spread 'round your Christmas tree ------------------ Sometimes nonsense isn't . |

You are the first Dr. Moose. Thankyou for reminding us of the joy of the season. The eyes of a child of christmas Morn. Well done Sir. |

Well done Dr. Moose! But what is first? Compared to this wondrous trend you set For it is now our poetic quest To match the value of this present. Thanks for sharing this perfect gift! |

Severn and Marilyn, Thanks for the read and comments . I was trying to capture something lost. Through this I glimpsed , for a moment , what some take for granted .The sentiment is genuine , I do wish this for all. Happy Holidays... |

Andrew my friend , I have one more 'twas saved for later date These kind responses I can't ignore So none will have to wait "To You All" Mistletoe bound with a bow Elfin spirits cannot bind Recounting those who's afterglow Remembrance brings to mind Yule-time gifts the spirit brings Chase chill from harried hearts Heaven's Host the choir sings Re-appears from time apart Icicles quick-silver streams Shine softly with new light This added as one lost in dreams Makes moments seem Alluring in the night Simple in their honesty Are the feelings thus evoked Nursed from embers silently Draped in scented smoke Holiday trims from dreams are spilt Angels make their presence known Pieces from a patch-work quilt Perhaps too seldom shown Yesterday's potential lost New one's is at hand Every possibility's cost Weighed in times of sand Yearn for true compassion Each in our own way And a milestone we may fashion Reached at last this day [This message has been edited by Dr.Moose1 (edited 11-16-1999).] |

Dr. Moose! This second offering is a step beyond! Top shelf material and then some. The poem itself had such a smooth flow and wonderful imagery that I never thought to look for that "A" thinggie. As my grandma would say "Merry Chris-Moose to you too! And many good years ahead." |

Dr Moose, Best wishes for you as well. ------------------ Yesterday is history, tomorrow just a mystery. And if today is good to me how could I ask for more? |
