Christmas of Past

By emily2u | From the Heart | 23 Dec 2021

Just one more sleep
To Christmas Eve,
A time of much joy
But all in the past.

It's no longer the same
As when I was growing up,
With plenty of merriment
That's not to be found.

Those were the days
The real celebration
The past that I miss
That I cannot recapture

With Christmas approaching
I wonder what happened
Where the good times are
If they can ever be found.
