Autumn Leaves volume 6 number 7 |
I watched your eyes at Christmas time.
They danced like
fairy lights.
Your laughter rang a thousand bells
As you experienced the
sights.
The Christmas trees and shiny stars
Caused you no end of
joy.
You talked of all your Christmas dreams
And showed me each great
toy.
I knew I couldn't slow you down,
So I just let you
run.
I followed you for hours and hours.
I watched you having fun.
When the day had reached its end,
I watched you
peacefully
Sleeping, tucked up warm and safe,
Such a precious memory.
