My Christmas Card Collection
written by: Lynne Osborne
Scenes of fir trees bent with snow,
Couples under mistletoe,
Faces lit by candleglow –
My Christmas card collection.
Images of Santa’s sleigh,
Holly in a rose bouquet,
Sugar plums in sweet ballet –
Missives of confection.
Scenes of reindeer in mid-air,
Elves assembling toys with care,
Arctic foxes, snowshoe hare –
Holiday reflections.
Images of three wise kings,
Partridges and golden rings,
Cherubim with pearly wings – –
My Christmas card collection.
Scenes of frigid starlit night,
Presents wrapped in colors bright,
Hearthsides all infused with light –
Signs of fond affection.
Scenes of love and amity,
Laden shoppers on a spree,
Charlie Brown’s pathetic tree –
Palpable connections.
I save the cards in a silver tin,
Bring them out to read again,
Take them on a Yuletide spin –
My Christmas card collection.
