Christmas - Growing old.
Dreams of a Christmas full of good cheer.
I wonder if that is possible here.
Family traditions of bygone times,
the tingle of contented nostalgia
and a room filled with fun and laughter.
It all seems so long ago
yet still brings a warm cozy glow.
Mistletoe and berries; ivy and holly
remind me of Christmasses jolly.
Silver baubles and a fairy on the tree,
multi coloured lights like stars
in a room filled with family banter.
It all seems so long ago
yet still brings a warm cozy glow.
Cheesy songs; repeats on t.v.
Tickets to a pantomime i'd like to see.
Christmas Carols' sung in the square,
brass bands and the local choir.
A room filled with gifts around the tree.
It all seems so long ago
yet still brings a warm cozy glow.
They say what goes around, comes around,
that we shouldn't keep treading old ground.
I wonder if it's time now for me to pay
for all the great Christmasses had.
Perhaps i'm just getting old.
It just seems so very long ago
since i felt that warm cozy glow.
