Remember

Remembering

Remember when Santa looked like dad

We knew he knew when we were bad

When we were good, we had it made

When we woke up on Christmas day

Remember when we could not sleep

The excitement kept us counting sheep

We’d red ink Sears, drawing circles around

The gifts we’d find in dressing gowns

Baking with mom on Christmas Eve

And the joy that comes from just believing

Window shopping about town

Watching the fire as snow fell down

Remember snowmen filled with Christmas magic

Snowball fights in daddy’s jacket

Flashing lights and jingle bells

Christmas sights the sounds and smells

Remembering is what keeps you close

The ones of us I miss the most

Wish you were here, again, with me

Making new Christmas memories

Telling stories my heart needs to tell <3 life is a journey, not a competition
