Memoir poems

My favorite Holiday memory is the night before Christmas. Making cookies and getting ready for the busy day ahead. My sisters and I always sleep together, but really we never get any sleep at all. Are bodies are filled with adrenaline. We finally rest for a few hours, waking to the sound of absolutely nothing but silence. My sisters are filled with excitement. Wanting to go see what lies under the amazingly packaged boxed stacked high in the living room. Finally the clock says 7:00, its time! We get to go see our gifts and the smiling faces of everyone. It’s the best because everyone is happy. Tears of joy, loves is filled we are brought together as a family and one we will always be.

Are bodies are filled with adrenaline

We finally rest for a few hours

waking to the sound of absolutely nothing but silence

the smiling faces of everyone

Tears of joy

we are brought together as a family and one we will always be.

(memoir)

It was like my second playground

I was entertained for hours

The seats were soft like baby skin

Time for the thumbs up

I felt like I was on top of the world

Soaring up in the sky for hours
