YOU ARE CHRISTMAS EVERYDAY
For Elizabeth
twinkling tree lights
always remind me
of the christmas
in your eyes…
i wish i could
carry your laughter
cupped in my hands
forever hold
the sanctuary
of your smile…
then every day
would be christmas
and i would be warm
wrapped in the unending gift
of your embracing nearness
