Music: The Frost Is All Over
|
My Favorite Toy was a result of thinking back over the many Christmas celebrations I've had and trying to remember the toys that brought me pleasure. Truthfully I could only remember a few toys from long ago. I remember specifically the night Santa appeared in my Grandmother's sitting room and dumped out a sack of toys on the floor. Among the gifts was a Hubley 12 inch Cowboy guns and holster set. The holster had red bullets held to the back with a leather strap. What a gift! I still remember the smell of real genuine cowhide leather. The holsters had tie down straps for a quick draw. Then of course there was my first set of wheels - my trike!

My Favorite ToyIt is that time of year when I remember my favorite toys The ones that have brought me many wonderful joys Long ago when I was a little boy I discovered a marvelous toy I could play with it alone Or share it with another Soft and spongy or hard as a stone It was brightest when shared with my mother It provides more joy the more it was played with Like the feeling of rehearing a familiar story or myth At the end of each day it is with a bit of sorrow That I carefully put it away until tomorrow We all have our own favorite toy May yours bring you as much joy |
