I remember thirtythree years ago
When I was living in Maryland
Christmastime in such bright colors
never out of my memory it went

Ropes of lights along the houses
Trees reformed in red blue gold
Twinkling stars descent from heaven
I still remember when growing old

It was a time of joy and laughter
people coming home from far
to feel the love of familycaring
roused upon us by one bright star

And they all wanted an image
from that star there up above
so they decorated their houses
with the lights that spoke of love

but there's one thing I will ask you
only if it's not too difficult for thee
I would like to see those lovelights
please do send one by mail to me

but be sure to perform resizing
or the computer will crash down
and that wouldn't please my hubby
then he'll look at me with a frown


A rose is a rose is a rose...I guess...
Want to use the pics on my website? Just send me a mail and I'll give you the link.

May peace be with you, Titia....
Wouldn't it be nice to be able to send those lights in the sky via email.
Even though I can't send the lights, I can still wish you a merry Christmas.
Very well written.

You used to live in Maryland...USA?  What part?  I live very close to Maryland.
No matter how old I get, I still love the lights at Christmas.  Even the tacky ones...and there are plenty here!  lol
Titia, I'll see what I can do about your request...I am quite computer illiterate, but I'll give it a shot.  May take me a few days.  Let me see what I can do.
