With Childlike Wonder
Posted: January 4, 2009
Looking for more of Christmas after New Years Day…
With childlike wonder we approach
the New Year's open door.
We fantasize about the things
these twelve months hold in store.
This first month finds us wondering
why Christmas went so fast.
The child within our grownup frame
still longs for what has passed.
Just like our kids we can complain
when fun gives way to work.
Reluctantly we all return
to tasks we cannot shirk.
But even then (while on the job)
what we are hoping for
are joys we knew at Christmastime
beyond this open door.
