I made my way
Gift in hand
And heart
This cloudless morn
With burning sun reflected
In magical orange and red
Upon the new fallen snow
Walked with slow measured step
To visit you once more
On this day of family and friend
Happiness glimpsed along the way
Hidden in plain sight
Behind open curtained windows
Decorated with bright lights
And excited children
I went by but did not enter in that serenity
Still on my way
I passed through the gate
My gift held ever tighter
On this Christmas day
Reborn in fresh cleansing white
Dust away the whisps
Clutching to your name
So I can place upon the stone
My gift so precious to you
On this Christmas morn

Thank you for posting this to the Ratings Rampage Group
I just wanted to stop by since I am finally going through what is now listed as under 4,300 pieces of gather new mail that is sitting in my inbox on here.
With that mentioned I just came across either a mailing from you yourself, or someone else brought this piece to my attention. You or they felt that your creation should be shared with the gather community, which I am very glad that it was passed on to me to view. So I wanted to say Thank you for taking the time out of your busy day to publish it here on gather for us to all view. :o)
As well before I leave you I wanted to wish you a Happy New Year... in 2009 :o)
This is also coming from a fellow Comment Speedway member... Hopefully you have success with your post and receiving comments and views. :o)
