Chapter (4) A CHRISTMAS FIRELIGHT MEMORY

A Chapter by MAD ENGLISHMAN



 A CHRISTMAS FIRELIGHT MEMORY

 

The daylight fades and the night descends,

And our little house is locked and safe from harm.

I sit with my mum on the old sofa,

and watch the flames as the fire keeps us warm.

 

Decorations sway and twinkle in the gently light,

While outside the night

brings the Christmas snow.

Our old brown dog sleeps and snores by my feet

oblivious to the spitting log’s sparkling show.

 

Upstairs my siblings dreaming of a special morning.

Christmas stockings hung by their beds,

and in their heads across the snow filled skies

Santa’s sled with Reindeer flies.

 

Now in the bed I share with my sleeping brother,

I can hear my mother as she greets my father home.

Tomorrow the house will fill with noise and joy,

and drifting into sleep I think of the day to come.
