A place of love

In retention there stood a smile

Through sunshine and whistles

Cold mornings sit in warm cars

As the holiday cheers another year

I felt the love of centuries of dreams

Delivering a child of youth to something once old

I told you of stories along the stream

You took me tonight again to be seen

Tax payer entwined in proposals

Checks balanced the disposals

Policies muddled up in procedures

As words fly by the post

The games we played

Through new years mistletoe 

I thought the trees of Christmas lights were lost

Until i passed a doors sitting by you to cross

The stockings filled with laughter

Candy cane and my very here after

This year was a package of ribbon red

Something i once remembered and you simply said

For now and tomorrow we would forever write

Of life and givings we had hope

You wear a scarf of deepest grey

I know tonight i hold you to pray

A holiday of love

Not one of cries

The hot cocoa i owe you

The smile in my eye

Beautiful festive tale with a unique twist of then, now and tomorrows, which is where all thoughts tend to lead as the years end ticks ever closer.Beautiful end lines.
