as a child
your Christmas list
used to be long.
a pop gun,
a jack in
the box. a horse
on springs
to ride,
a hat,
some boots,
a ball,
a fort of toy
soldiers,
candy and gum.
simple things,
that made your eyes
light up
like lights
on the tree.
easy at that age
to be made
content,
happy.
now the list
is just
one thing,
nothing that can
be bought
in a store, just
you being here
with me.
