Red Coat and White toqueA Story by Mariette H.A Christmas story I have a little story to share with you about a woman with red coat and white toque!Red coat, white hat, bent with age,with trembling hands Wrinkles on her face that reads like her life story Turning her head with a trying effort "Could you please help me? she asks She no longer has the clear vision of bygone days The youth now a memory etched in a compartment of her mind "Connect these two wires together" Delicate work To meticulous for her trembling hands Unrelaxed Christmas
lights Glowing from her window A magic show ,like a little kid with glittering eyes, intoxicated with pure joy, I imagined A small dog that barks Her only friend perhaps? "Anytime" I said with a smile. With a broken nervous like laugh of excitement she steals a kiss ,and I give her one back. © 2010 Mariette H.Author's Note
