the christmas lighting

The fear gone
The eyes still feel the shadows
Lurking behind in his mind
As a child he has to take his time

In times he will
As the process of growing up
He will look ahead
Learn a bit here
A lot more in years to come

Now by the Christmas tree
Glittering lights smile on his face
The small step he has taken
A bigger role he will play

The fear gone
What the adults think so
Watch carefully of his bashfulness
He still has some yarns to learn

Not of his sister
The modeling instincts she rolls
Captivating she wants to display
On the pictures she poses
She is born natural
The way she will be
