Childhood Dreams....

by Kayla   Aug 6, 2005


The blazing flame,
IN the fireplace.
The Christmas tree lit,
And covered in lace.

Christmas carols play,
On the radio.
As I sit and wait,
For Santa to show.

The cookies are warm.
The milk is cold.
Next to it sits my list.
Presents wanted are told.

I look around,
Making sure all is set.
Wondering to myself,
Is Santa near yet?

When my parents come in,
"Honey time for bed."
As I slowly walk away,
I catch a glimpse of red.

To me this was hope.
That Santa was real.
But this soon ends,
When out came the real deal.

To this day,
Christmas lost its flare.
Its special feeling,
Is no longer there!

    I really liked this poem, simply because it is what most people go through when they become older, wiser. The excitement and flare of christmas seems to disappear when you realise that it's all a lie. Originality is shown here. Kim x
