Yes, she smiles to herself as she thinks 'We may not have a tree and all the decorations but we have something that is priceless to bring the greatest of cheer this Christmas For this Christmas we have each other all together with not a one sick, and that alone is what keeps a smile on her face as she finally lays down to rest Silence fills the small apartment with the only sound being the steady breathing of three little ones snuggled together with their mother in the double bed The snow still falls in the darkness of the night but somehow it has changed as full moonlight seems to turn each flake into perfect crystals that sparkle magically If one listened very closely they could hear tiny bells moving through the air as if fairy wings were playing the sweetest music that could not be heard by the human ear There is the faintest creak as the window is raised by tiny hands and several giggling forms slide quickly into the room bringing with them just a little puff of cold, snowflake laden air The men are all dressed in green fur jackets with matching peaked hats and pants with black boots that curled up at the toes while the ladies wear red dresses with matching hats and the same boots They went to work with as much silence as they could but still one noticed that there was the sound of tiny bells throughout the room and their faces reflected such glee that their pointed ears twitched Karen Torbiak© The Magic Of Christmas Snow (part 1) /pip/Forum52/HTML/001923.html Love I leave with you whether it is in your life now or yet the essense of your dreams.

This poem inspires me to go out and write my own Christmas poem, although I know it will be nowhere near the quality of this one.^_^ -Derek |

I love fairy tales and have written a few in prose, but have never been able to put one in a poem. I enjoyed this one. Dan Death comes not when we cease to breathe, but when we cease to dream. |
