Twas just this morning when,
Children circling on ice, laughing,
Thoughts of presents under the tree,
Lights like tiny stars sparkling in the day.
Twas just this morning when,
Sounds of glory, music played,
Men in suits, beating their drums,
All lined marching the wonder of the day.
Twas just this morning when,
We waited at gates, searching faces,
Memories of days gone by, Christmas' past,
All waiting to be shared here in these moments now.
Twas just this morning when,
Families gathered round the tree,
Wee little ones, waiting for these gifts,
All sitting round gathered for another present day.

I hope everyone has had a wonderful holiday season, filled with moments, memories to be felt for years to come. Moments in time, forever left as a gift within our hearts. I am linking this over to One Shoot Sunday and the photo prompt today taken by Adam Dustus.

"'Twas just this morning..." and how quickly a memory the time became! So fitting you refer to the day as a "present." Sounds like it was a present you enjoyed. Cheers, Petrina. Very nice write and thoughtful message.
Beautifully penned
Sad that it's the day after that special morning
Best to you
beautiful words :)Very visual, especially the first and last verses.
Attractive is the shape of your words, and their simple meanings of hope, peace, and some moments in my day which will never be forgot...
