   "Look Into My Eyes, Tell Me What You See"
“Look Into My Eyes, Tell Me What You See”

Days past, days to come. I’ve seen them.
Silver bells and tinsel on the tree, gaze up in wonder and you shall see.
Warm greetings to all, tis the season to cherish with harmony. Tis the time past the falling
of the leaves.
Come one, come all the time has begun for a great gathering. For some to feel the light of
the season and others to release the scars of their past. Silent with desolation, why is this to be?

Follow me…Into a hidden place of warmth and caring…follow me…draw upon my memories with me, what few I retain. Look into my eyes, tell me what you see. The love and caress from one another is of far more greater value than gold and silver, these mere possessions of the earth cannot amount to that which my heart holds.

Swift and silent…the snow has fallen. White with peace, the reminder of hopes that lie dear to our heart and of lost remembrance. During a night as this, takes place my recollection. The pure moon floods the empty streets with a luminescence of a thousand distant stars. All has fallen silent in the calm of the night, not a soul is stirring. Far off in the distance a joyous tune is perceived as the carolers sing in close harmony. On my street though, all is sound as the crisp, fallen snow. As “Silent Night” and “Silver Bells” fill the lonely night air, I sat by my window wishing to be there.

The hearth no longer bear, stockings are now hung there. Designs of many variations are among them, I see bright reds and forest greens, plump holly berries, and soft, fuzzy fabric covered in plaid. I’ve yet to place mine amongst them, it’s somewhere just not here.

Follow me…I have somewhere I’d like to take you, will you please come? Enter the depths of sweet smells and spice apple cider, the cozy little kitchen is where we currently reside. Here, in this wonderful tiled room of cooking to perfection there can be found many a tasty treat. There’s hot cocoa on that little black table over there…want some? Careful it’s quite hot, see the steam? I have the shiny red cup, you, the shiny green. I scorched my delicate, pink taste buds, they’re mad at me now and so they stab me with throbbing pain. I thought a glass full of cool, refreshing liquid would help, but to no avail. I learned my lesson the hard way, oh well.

Can you see that picture, the one with the silver frame? That’s me when I was little, that’s my shadow… Those years have silently eroded away, as new memories are created, new days to come. See that dress I’m wearing, it’s soft and full of waves, I wore it when I was only two years in age. I still have that same, sparkly dress it’s in my room at the moment…do you desire to see it? Feel my dress, it is the softest thing I’ve known besides the closeness of my family to my heart.

Come…look, look out the window it is snowing again! I need to ask mom and dad if I may enjoy this fresh blanket of snow, if they say yes will you come too? Boots, jacket, what else…I know I’m forgetting something.. oh, my scarf! Will you get it for me? It’s the little blue one, the one with the tassels on the end. Mom is saying something, she says I forgot my mittens. They’re underneath the pile of clothing on my clean, white floor. I’ll be back, I need to get them. While you’re waiting grab a cookie, they’re fresh! Mom just made them. Can you hand me that one, to the left, the one that’s shaped like a cute little Christmas tree? You can have the angel with the yellow frosting, I decorated it for you.

Look…look up at our tree, it isn’t dressed yet, I’m supposed to help with the pretty lights and ornaments, I also get to place the angel at the very tip top, I can’t reach though, so dad said he’ll give me a ride to the top. Mom says I can go out now. Would you like to make a frosty together? Not the kind you drink, here I’ll show you. Watch out for that patch of slippery ice, I’ve already had my feet taken right out from under me twice.

Mom and dad made a frosty too, theirs’ looked pretty silly! Snow ball fight!! Duck! Mom got dad, but he’s about to return the favor… Run mommy!! You almost got hit, better watch out, my dad’s good with snow fights! We can hide behind the car, it is white like the snowflakes, so maybe he won’t find us. The moon is like a giant beam, it won’t be hard for him to find me behind the car, but you can go to my next hiding place. It’s over there behind that snow drift.

He found me, I got hit on my half- frozen cheek. It burns from the cold, maybe I should go inside… No, this is too much fun!! My frosty needs a nose, I want to get a carrot from the box that keeps our food, it’s cold too, but not as cold as out here. I don’t think we have coal, it’s that shiny, black stuff right? Mom and dad have an idea, they say to use two small, round pebbles. You do one, and I’ll do the other. I found some sticks for his thin arms Frosty’s finished!! Oh no, his head fell off, daddy says he’ll fix it for me. I’ve been shivering for a while. It’s time to retreat to the inside of our house, it’s nice and warm and the fireplace will be on.

Sit...sit by the fire, don’t get too close it is extremely hot and you wouldn’t want to get burned by those bright red and orange flames. See that picture? The one with that frosty-green framing? That’s a very special picture, my parent’s wedding picture. I love that silky white dress that my mom is wearing, I wonder if when she felt it, it was as soft as my blue baby dress. There are a lot of classical Christmas programs on at the moment, my favorite of them all is “Rudolph The Red Nosed Reindeer”, what’s your favorite?

We can watch it until the stroke of ten; otherwise Santa Claus won’t drop by for a visit! I don’t want that to happen. I am trying to draw Santa, he has a big, round belly and…a happy smile and…he’s all dressed in red and white! I want to draw Rudolph with him and one of his little, helpful elves but I ran out of room. I’m finished with my picture, mom just put it on the box, I go over to look at it and see my favorite magnet. Do you want to see which magnet’s my favorite? It’s the one shaped as a gecko, aren’t they cute? My father brought it back from Hawaii for my mother. I’ve always wanted to hold it. I dropped it upon the tiled floor, it didn’t break, but I cried anyway. My tears were swept away by my mother who came to comfort me…Look into my eyes, and tell me what you see.
