Re-Living Christmas: cherished moments and memories #4

Visiting season,

Of friends and relatives,

And there is nothing

I loved more

As a kid

Than

The opportunity

To visit

And sleep

At one of my many cousins’ home

Living over the hill, down the valley

Or across the river.

Different home,

Different food,

Different environment,

And lovely cousins

Who loved me

To the moon and back!

Those were

The most

Fun filled days

And nights

Of my life.

The days would be filled

With adventure -

Looking for wild fruits,

Climbing trees,

Feeding rabbits

And a thousand other

Kids’ stuff.

The night would be filled

With jokes and laughter

Around the kitchen fire

And a thousand other Stories.

I don’t know where or how time went

In those days,

Because it never seemed enough,

And saying

Goodbye

Was always

A hard and tearful

Moment.
