My kitten Suay was curled up on my knee.

It was Christmas evening, just her and me.

We were watching TV, just a quiet night in.

An old festive movie was about to begin.

 

Very little traffic on County Road that night.

And the Barlow Lane tree was shining bright.

It was freezing outside, but no sign of snow.

Suay was my company…and I love her so!

 

Loud fireworks lit up the dark Walton sky.

Christmas day had passed so quickly by.

Bored of the movie, so I played music instead.

I listened to Macca, then I went off to bed.

 

In my dreams, a past distant world I did see.

As I dreamt of how Christmas Day used to be.

My girls were young then and snow fell deep.

I thought of those days as I drifted off to sleep.
