So hard to believe
Just six years ago
All of you standing so tall
Were once so young and small
Standing now, such joyful exhuberance
Singing songs of the season
Cheerful sounds usher in the darkness
The power of light so consuming
Slightly off key for sure
Quirky words unclear yet eyes gleam mischevious
Waving hands with sweeping motions
Bringing tears to older eyes
The present pageant unfolding amidst
Mixtures of memories past
Of diapers, first steps, the falls and oh the words
Scrambled together with off key singing
The miracle of life's cycles
So long ago we were on the same stage
With our parent's before us
Frightened and anxious we were
Enjoying the clapping and adulation
Goofiness of a holiday performance
The relief of almost being done
The last bow signaling anticipation
For Santa's plunge down the chimney
And the magic of the season.
