How Christmas Used To Be

The sights I remember
Many, many years ago
Of stars twinkling bright
Ground white with snow

How I miss that scene
At this time of the year
I think back of long ago
Yes I always shed a tear

As summer days go by
Christmas days I recall
The scenic winter nights
The snowflakes would fall

A snowy white Christmas
I have not seen for years
So every year at this time
I always shed a few  tears

It is summer in Australia
A time I miss my family
Thoughts took me back
How Christmas used to be

Memories are something very special to draw upon, and just as lovely as your poem.

Merry Christmas, Hope~
