From many scenes of Christmas past,
Some linger still, their shadows cast.
The warmth, the love they still endure
Like gold, refined that’s clean and pure.
A smile, a touch, a warm embrace,
The sparkle of a baby’s face
All linger in my heart and mind,
The memories, the ties that bind.
Some memories in lost and found
Come back when triggered by a sound.
A melody, a song or phrase
Stir memories obscured by haze.
Those cherished memories I hold
Still warm my heart when nights grow cold.
