Christmas past
Christmas present
Christmas future
It looked like white Marzipan icing
tonight under the moonlight
and stars
gazing
I turned off the outside lights
I didn't need them
soft shadows melted into the moon's gaze
the touch soft upon the sleeping snowy earth
or at least here sleeping
in South Africa
Shoshanna set up the computer
and with Skype
and early morning
we saw all that Father Christmas
had brought the wee ones
so joyful this game we play each year
around our celebrating Jesus
His birth and coming to set us free
tonight the kiddies are free
adopted
not abandoned
healthy
not waning in weakness
and despair
laughter filling the air
all the way to Gramma's heart
Jedaiah doing a Mexican Christmas
Bethany doing a Prairie Christmas
Eduardo and I back to the Christmases past
just us and friends along the way
I look forward to Christmas future
I see Grandkiddies on my knee
and hear their giggles
as we play young
together
Christmas
any kind of Christmas
my favourite things
