Christmas music and tears

Ice on the windows, frost on the air

Christmas music to bring tears

Missing those I love , gone a long time past

Those who  held  me when  I cried

Remembering  their love held tight inside

Alone  to pass  on a life time of love

 The smell of baking bread

Cinnamon rolls no nuts inside

For a little girl at her grandma's  side

 Grandpa  watching TV in black and white

That dark haired child  putting pin curls in his hair

"Is that good grandpa, see how pretty"

 Rides in the wheel barrow

Climbing the apple trees

Getting eggs with grandma

 Being loved when mom was not around

Grandma's perfect little girl

Waltzing  with grandpa  singing  along

A different time, a little house, a different era

My happiest time of life as a child
