White Dreams
I'm dreaming
of a White Christmas
yes, the kind where
snowfalls aren't Texas waterfalls
slushfields for driver's with no license
ice-skating with tire shoes.
I'm dreaming
of a White Christmas
yes, the kind where
snowballs aren't blowballs
lines made for picking
and grinning is an imaginary friend.
I'm dreaming
of a White Christmas
yes, the kind where
we sit around the tree on Christmas morn
the fire roaring and the blizzard blazing
smiles of family gathering everywhere.
I'm dreaming
of something that hasn't happened
for a long time,
snowfalls
snowballs
family gathering's,
but if I am going to dream
I might as well dream big
and have it all,
My family
My snow,
all on Christmas Day.
