Christmas 2018

Her smile, as Santa sees her through thick halfmoon glasses from up on great-grandma's fireplace.
Her farmyard on the carpet where the chicken would roost on top of the barn.
Her quiet little 'oooh' when I lifted her up close to the tree's shining glow at night.
Her mother laying her down on cool mornings for a warm milk breakfast beside the tree.
Her father wishing that every year of her life would be like this.
