Christmas Treasures
"Christmas Treasures" is a poem in which a grieving parent tenderly revisits a small collection of keepsakes — a toy, a faded stocking, a lock of golden hair — each one tied to a cherished Christmas memory of their young son. Field draws the reader into the child's wide-eyed delight at hanging his stocking and waking to find it filled, then quietly reveals the ache beneath: the angels who once blessed the sleeping boy came again to carry him away. The poem moves between radiant joy and quiet heartbreak, held together by a parent's enduring vigil.
