Christmas Long Ago -- POEM

Christmas Long Ago
A Christmas Poem by Jo Geis

Frosty days and ice-still nights,
Fir trees trimmed with tiny lights,
Sound of sleigh bells in the snow,
That was Christmas long ago.

Tykes on sleds and shouts of glee,
Icy-window filigree,
Sugarplums and candle glow,
Part of Christmas long ago.

Footsteps stealthy on the stair,
Sweet-voiced carols in the air,
Stocking hanging in a row,
Tell of Christmas long ago.

Starry nights so still and blue,
Good friends calling out to you,
Life, so fact, will always slow...
For dreams of Christmas long ago.

That's wonderful! Do you know the author? If I may, I'd like to post that on my blog, A Cosy Life.

This was JUST BEAUTIFUL !!! Thank you for sharing it. It reminds me somewhat of Christmas Ideals which I have collected many copies over the years.
