A Christmas Gift
By Don Ray Williams
December 25, 2004
There wasn’t a tree, and nary a package,
Just old memories, that most would call baggage,
December 25th, two thousand and four
A date creating a memory, like no memory before.
As I sat there, in front of the screen
There appeared such a vision, I thought it must be a dream.
I blinked once and then twice and three times and then four,
I remember it well, Christmas day, 2004.
Was it fate, was it chance, or was really a trick?
Was it my Christmas gift from that jolly ole St. Nick?
Was I dreaming, would I wake, would there be something more?
What a way to end the year, 2004.
Now going forward, I feel much more alive,
I am even looking forward to two thousand and five.
One never knows what life holds in store,
My life started changing, December 25th 2004.
