As snow came down

her wondrous eyes

flared as bright

as winter skies

 

She imagined they fell

from Santa's sleigh 

And that he might

pop down & say:

 

What a good girl

you've been this year 

You may get more

than an apple & pear!

 

And through a window

frosted lightly,

she saw a snowman

fat, but sprightly!

 

He danced & raised

his battered cap

with a little jig

and a bit of tap!

 

Though, the tapping was lost

to snowy feet, 

he busted some moves

to a Christmas beat

 

She jiggled with him

in her chair

as festive carols 

filled the air

 

A nurse joined in

and jiggled with her

It's time, she said

for Christmas dinner !

 

And as they wheeled her

past the tree,

that twinkled & glistened 

so beautifully 

 

A bauble was held 

within her hand

that Santa had made

in a faraway land

 

Her Mam & Dad 

had asked him to,

when she was born,

back in '42

 

Our daughter's 

1st 

Christmas 

x

Is all it said

But such a love she felt

When these words were read 

 

So, she placed it gently

upon the tree

"There hangs my heart

For all to see."

 

And, after a moment

of reminisce 

She blew it a little

Christmas kiss

 

"Come on," says a nurse.

"Let's get some dinner."

"May as well," says Doris.

"Am gettin' ne thinner!"
