Had it Worked Out Special moments are memories Gift wrapped by the Magi’s Hands alone Even when paper is next- Morning tattered, and satin ribbons Lay in tangle of thought Special moments can still Make you have faith In magic Was is so many years ago And that young ago For a couple sans income Worried about Christmas, What to gift Each other She, new to the Midwest ~ He thinks her pine eyes Would sparkle on State Street They board a day train To Chicago proper ~ She makes windowpane wishes On casement dressings and Santerrific scenes Wrapped in silken sighs CA bred, frozen crepe Whipped and chilled By Chicago winds Thin legs exposed In crystal shard winds But heart happy As her one wish For snow on State street came, Kissing her eyelashes. Had it worked out It would have remained A Magi story to tell. |

WOW!!! This is a very interesting and dazzling write, sweet friend, sadly every Christmas in Colorado I wisdh for snow every time yet we have only had it one Christmas in the past five! (sigh) This is wonderful, sweet friend, this sure works out as a keeper, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Karilea, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

This is magic!! Truly. Chris Life is not measured by breaths you take, but by moments that take your breath away. |

Had it worked out It would have remained A Magi story to tell. I know exactly what you mean...still, a special moment. The last 2 verses really tied it together for me. |
