Aubry B...

Double Christmas

It's April,

But it's Christmas day again.

Except Santa Claus and his elves are

Bearded men with neon T-shirts.

Except the packages I receive

Require a box-cutter to open them

Except the gifts I get

Are things I already had.

Except there is no tree,

No lights,

No cookies,

No carols,

No stockings,

And no snow.

But there is still

Anticipation,

Excitement,

Hope,

And joy in each new discovery.

For it may be April,

But for a military child like me,

It's Christmas day again.
