Memories of long ago

They travel through our thoughts

Bringing us the treasures

That everyone has brought

Love that was unending

In every waking day

Joy that we would gather

In every special way

Times in life we reached out

To touch a heart with love

Memories of all those times

The days that we speak of

Sacrifice and beauty

That came with all our gifts

Special times we treasure

That give the heart a lift

These the things remembered

On every Christmas day

A treasure of our wishes

That always made their way

So take this day of beauty

Wrap it with pure gold

Share it now with others

The greatest story told.
