CHRISTMAS REMEMBERED

By Leola Snider Perkins

Christmas is the season
 full of love and joy for all,
It really is a time of year
 fond memories to recall.

We remember times Santa slipped
 while we did play,
But he was always gone, oh
  so quickly on his way.

Most of us remember days
 with our children all about,
We recall the “Merry Christmas”
 little voices then did shout.

Now we see the times have changed,
 Santa’s modern now, you see,
But wasn’t that the “greatest”
 when he came by chimney?

As we wander through the maze of years
 of joy, and sometimes tears,
It’s good to have our memories
 in our heart to hold so dear.
