Cigarettes burn
And stars fall from the heavens
My soul longingly yearns
For your heart to remember
What it was, what we had
When we still fanned the embers
And the ways that we laughed
Through the days of December
Birthday celebrations
Preparing for Christmas
Well wished invitations
And red inked circled wish lists
The magical glow
Of the tree through the window
The red velvet bows
On the gifts nestled below it
The soft, fragrant fir
Dressed in tinsel and lights
Quietly and still
Bringing joyous delight
What a peaceful easy feeling
And spectacular sight
As you traditionally read
And to all a good night
Oh, to relive those moments
And have you here with me
All my wishes I’d spend
To find you there by my tree
