ON THIS DAY AFTER

On the day after Christmas
all quiet in the house,
the presents unwrapped,
not a sound to be heard
as memories of the day
dance about in my head
while I put them away
with joy and with care
the memories,
one by one,
into that very special place
reserved for the most
special ones.

Memories of children,
whose faces lit up with glee
as they opened the gifts
they found under the tree;
the turkey roasted
to perfection,
dinner with family
and friends,
memories that
won’t be forgotten,
a joyful Christmas again.
And the birth of a child
that started it all,
under a star so bright
on that night long ago.

So on the day after Christmas
I look back on it all
as throughout the year
I’ll remember this day
and cherish the memories
that bring warmth to my heart
and look forward to next year
as we get together once more.

And I wish one and all
of my family and friends,
the Happiest New Year,
full of promise and hope.
