With only a week or so to the big day here is a poem to celebrate. Hope you like it.
‘CHRISTMAS DAYS’
Frosty nights with glistening trees
Lights in windows; snow on the breeze
Excited hopes that sparkle bright
Someone special will arrive tonight
Christmas Eve silent and still
Stockings dangle ready to fill
Jewel-like glints adorn the tree
The scent of needles given free
Excited whispers slowly cease
As sleep begins its night time peace
Dreams arrive, full of hopes
Of racing sledges on snowy slopes
Twinkling frost wiped off the glass
Hoping to see a reindeer pass
Flying low and collecting dreams
Riding over and down moonbeams
A flash of red and a twinkling bell
Starry skies of this Noel
Softly from the fire place
Dust and soot wiped off his face
A bag of treasures upon his back
Amazing marvels in his sack
Sparkling packages left this night
Await the children wrapped up tight
Golden ribbons surround the gifts
As up the chimney again he lifts
Off once more on his moonlit way
Reindeers breath before his sleigh
Chimney tops and snowy roofs
The muffled sound of many hoofs
Stillness floats around the room
Sparkling joys play their tune
Ready for children’s happy eyes
Fill their hearts with such surprise
The stars that fade in morning rays
Begins the fun of Christmas days
