A BEAUTIFUL CHRISTMAS PART 2
A Beautiful Christmas Evening
In garments adorned, a festive array,
Mama's gift of new clothes, a joyous display.
Children twirl in delight, shoes tapping the floor,
Their happiness, the essence of Christmas, I adore.
A beautiful Christmas evening, warmth with them, I say.
Around the table, gathered as one,
Papa grins widely, his joy second to none.
Completeness reigns, a rarity we've found,
All under one roof, love and laughter resound.
A beautiful Christmas evening, a family's joy begun.
A feast laid before us, a culinary delight,
Mama's efforts evident, a banquet so bright.
Turkey thighs, a regal centerpiece,
Beside it, fried rice, a tradition's lease.
A beautiful Christmas evening, a flavorful height.
In the hush that follows, Papa rises tall,
A prayer of thanks, blessings for all.
Chaos ensues as plates are filled with glee,
The clamor of family, a cherished cacophony.
A beautiful Christmas evening, love in the festive sprawl.

Rain didn’t stop Mala. Swaddling for Edgar covered the baby boy’s body and she held her other son’s, Burton, six-year-old hand. The mud, muck, and mire didn’t hinder her from staying on course with her mission. From Pennsylvania, they all trekked to get closer and closer to land that was never promised but simply implied. Each step produced more mud caked around her sneakers. She didn’t care. Her rucksack provided them protein packs to put into plastic bottles and nuts and berries and dried meats to keep their muscles in good health. Water hydrated. She rested. The baby had been asleep the entire time that she had started her journey and her eldest son remained silent throughout the excursion as well.
