Family
By Paul Baldry

Family gathered—
the quiet hum of Christmas
holding us steady.
Snow drifts at the door;
inside, familiar laughter
warms the winter air.
Old stories return
as the tree lights softly blink—
home in every word.
Hands around the fire,
sharing what the year has brought—
love makes room for all.
Christmas morning light
falls across the ones we love—
that is gift enough.
