A
kookaburra song heralds the morn
And
all is still, as daylight's humid fingers creep over night’s shadows.
My
early bird stumbles in – bright eyes peering through tumbling, sleepy hair
...dragging
a pillowcase bursting full of surprises
and rustling in anticipation
with her every move.
Light
forces its way through the curtains
A
spotlight on the bed stands ready …
My
excitement is her excitement...
After all these years
After all these years
Nothing
has changed.
I
am a child again
...as
we sit on the bed in a pool of sunlight.
The
waiting is over…
It's Christmas day...
And
it's time to do what I've done since I can recall...
...Time
to open presents!
May your gifts be full of friends, laughter and good health.
Happy days my friends
