As I think of Christmas this Year

As I think of Christmas this year,
saddness comes to my eyes.
There is not a lot of smiles within,
though once in a while,
there is a glimpse of Christmas.
As I think of the Christmas season,
I see a little girl and little boy,
with smiles at the tree and all that is under it,
on Christmas morning.
Christmas was not a big hoopla in my family,
we did not have much money,
though we had one another,
I learned quick, that it wasn't about the presents,
at least not the store bought ones.
As I sit here and think of Christmas past,
I have happiness on my face,
with the saddness in the eyes.
