The sound of jingling bells drifts away

The fading glitter of fireworks bid farewell

My grandma’s cologne warm scent lingers on the couch

Signaling the Holiday season is over

If I were given a genie with three wishes

I’d trap these precious moments forever

Freezing the smiles on my family’s faces

and snuggle eternally in the blanket of everyone’s love.
