Innocence of Christmas

I wish to add this to the Christmas collaboration.

Innocence of Christmas

The innocence of childhood on that most wondrous of nights

Trying to sleep when their heads are full of the coming joy.

All should be fine on that bright day, not a care, nor sorrow.

Let innocence return, let the day be bright, in it, let all delight

geez, i want to go back there...those Christmases when i was a kid in NY...the train laid out around the tree....the beautiful, full balsa tree...so tall my dad had to get up on the step ladder to put the star on top.
simpler times...when Christmas had so much meaning...not so much commercialism..

I missed this one Dave, but how wonderful to read now. It is a most magical time for lots of children. I also spare a thought for the ones who don't feel the joy of Christmas. All good wishes.

Since I've been sketchy at the cafe since Halloween, I've lost track of the Christmas collaboration. But your poem is a good one, with or without it! *smile* This has the trademarks of being a parent, as you have injected your Christmas story with the excitement & anticipation of childhood. I think maybe not having had kids, I am not as tuned in to this kind of magic at Christmastime! Here's hoping you are enjoying a childlike wonder that's akin to your true inner spirit this holiday season!

Amen to that and merry Christmas Dave.

If only we could remain innocent and experience Christmas through the lens of a child. Perhaps if we try...

Well done Dave - a great reflective write highlighting the more important aspects of the season - nice one my friend ... :-)

Very nice, I wish I could have celebrated Christmas but Christmas was banned in North Korea where I grew up.
