Poem - Wish Yourself Back


Wish Yourself Back 
If you close your eyes
And take a deep breath,
 You can wish
Yourself back to
A time long ago,

A time when fresh cookies were
Baked to perfection,
And a letter
To Santa
Listed each
Toy request,

A time full of mystery,
A time of good cheer,
A time when your hopes for the
Future were clear,

This year take a moment to
Conjure those thoughts -
Take them out,
Dust them off,
Bring them to light,

My wish is that all of the dreams
You hold dear,
Will last beyond
Christmas
And all
Through the year.

  1. I think I enjoyed the anticipation more than the gifts. And also the extended family gatherings because of the "action" among cousins. xoxo

  2. I do think anticipation plays a key part in so many things we experience in life. When we gratify our needs too quickly, we lose the luxury of anticipation. xoxo
