Christmas Joy
written by: Linda M. Crate
@thysilverdoe
gingerbread houses,
sugar cookies,
and excitement and anticipation
dancing in the air;
gifts wrapped beneath
the tree
waiting to be unwrapped—
joy and love strung
in every heart like lights
glittering like the ornaments
hung on the tree,
and for a moment dreams
hold their breath and the world
is in perfect peace.
