Gift of Love

St. Nicholas came

During our growing-up years:

Parents’ love present.

Vestiges

Midtown Reno, Nevada – Monday, 3 December 2012

Late Autumn’s cold wind

Whips around December’s edge

And Christmas shoppers.

Cinnamon oven,

Electric window candle.

Walking back in time.

Homemade tree stand, free;

Infant looked to my eyes, smiled –

Christmas joys abound!

Smell cookies baking

While outside it’s raining gray

Christmas carols sound

Silver starry nights

Christmas crystals in snow

All in love with Love
