Now I know how my parents felt on Christmas

Cursing the dawn as the light's rays break in
And the sunrise, it burgles my eyes;
Meanwhile sleep is so sweet
The dreams are still calling-
I sigh, as I ask myself 'Why?'

For it seems it was ages
Since seconds dragged on
Now the years come and go with a breath;

The fantasy faded,
The moments long gone,
Each day is one closer to death

I remember what it once was to be young,
No stress and no airs of a care
The great expectations
And broken dreams mended
The memory dim; and yet there.

--The presents are calling, too.

Author's Notes/Comments: 

I don't have any children of my own yet, but it's been a good 10 years since I didn't want an opportunity to sleep in as the very first present of the day.  ;)
