Autumn Leaves volume 6 number 7 |
We went to Philadelphia
to see the Christmas
lights.
We went to lots of stores
and walked around the
streets,
admiring Christmas lights.
Christine clung tightly to my hand,
snuggled in my
arms,
or rode her Daddy's back,
while Robert skipped and
twirled
beneath the Christmas lights.
We ate dinner in a food court
ringed round with Christmas
lights.
We ate burgers and fries,
cokes and chocolate sundaes
under
the Christmas lights.
Then we drove back to New Jersey
away from Christmas
lights,
to trim our Christmas tree.
None of us suspected
it was the
last Christmas
for one of us.
