Egg-Nog toasts and memories ghosts Hang in the roasted Chestnut air With the ornamental lights Of childrens' smiling faces; Smiles that lock away the days before Now melted like snowflakes upon the door Of Christams morning. Christmas eve brings restless dreams, Jack Frost can't even nip The snuggled anxious hearts of innocence. Christmas bells of childrens' voices Ring early to awaken all To find wrapped treasures by the tree Which richen imaginations And long young eyes to see The miracles that Santa left Before his milk and cookie theft. He did not forget in haste Of making sure no time did waste To fill the stockings hung with hope, And the hearts of all who believe In the magic felt on Christmas eve. Each and every child received A gift no parent could understand; An exquisite toy soldier or princess doll Carefully carved by hand! |
