“Christmas Past” by Shirley Ballard (86 yrs. young)

Posted on by lkthayer

my red candle

flickers bright

with remembrances

what Christmas means

when you’re a spolied  kid…

how many times

my parents managed

to have our tradition

though times

were tough

they outdid themselves

for me

Shirley Ballard
