Eyelashes covered with Snow

Blue eyes smiled at the raptured lights lining rooftops 

with turquoise tinted lights where loved ones prayed 

for Grandma who was beside a warm fire with her 

favorite companion... a warm overgrown Puppy.  

The Music played a Christmas Waltz sung by 

Ol' blue eyes Frank Sinatra... warm and sensual... 

Many a Christmas memory with A Balsam Pine covered with 

lights of many colors and homemade ornaments from 

children grown up with babies of their own... 

Priscilla cuddled up in warm flannel Pajamas and a 

Cuppa hot chocolate with whipped cream and dreams.  

Peach Roses in a clear Vase stood like Ballerinas on 

satin toes who propose to keep a vigil on Christmas Eve... 

Yes, Virginia, as long as there is love and generosity-- 

there is a Santa Claus.

Prayers for a huge healing miracle gladly sent for your sister-in-law Priscilla, and for you and yours as well dear Pat. I know it's so hard not to be able to be with your family now, especially when a loved one is ailing, and I pray God sends you all strength and comfort and holds you in His blessed hands. Your beautiful poem strikes all the heart-chords for me and brings back cherished memories (Yes-Old Blue Eyes!) of family Christmases past. This year my family can only share the holidays on Zoom and Facetime. We are across the miles in Florida, NY, NJ, Massachusetts. At least we can electronically see and hear each other. Life has become so alien and seemingly cruel. I put my arms around you and your Priscilla and ask God to please send you all the miracles He can muster!! xo

dearest Annette... so special to have your prayers for Priscilla as we endeavor to reach our Father in Heaven. The Spirit of Christmas is part of the Spirit within our Heart and Soul. May sleigh bells ring as Children and Angels sing The First Noel... and Peace on Earth... Goodwill to Men. Love and Wonder... tenderly, Pat

dear Bruno... the Warmest heart ❤️ will know the blessings of Christmas with snow softly falling on branches of Evergreens where dreams lie in waiting as bright Red Cardinals sing 🎶 “It Came Upon a Midnight
Clear”.... Joy to the World... Amen... gently, Pat

This offering captures a holiday moment, like those moments many of us remember from long ago. Liked especially the ending, with its moving philosophy.

dear John... yes, life is always changing, but families worry about the health of their loved ones. With the Corona Virus we have to pray diligently and stay as safe and well as possible. I appreciate your leaving your heart print on this poem for Priscilla. Hope your days are warm and comfortable during this Christmas season. tenderly, Pat

dear folks... my sister-in-law Priscilla is staying with her daughter and grands
during Christmas (her daughter and grandson are in the photo). The family dog
is her overgrown puppy who loves her dearly. We sent her a dozen Peach Roses to
scent her days. They live in the Country outside Manhattan in New York. With the
Corona Virus it is difficult to make the trip from Virginia where we live. We need
your prayers for our beautiful Priscilla who is not well and needs a Miracle. truly, Pat
