The lights on the tree
shone yellow and bright
and smiled cheerfully
as the parents hid the
Xmas gifts with secret strides
π
The night before
the children were exuberant
after all, it was time for wishes
laid upon the heart of
Santaβs pride
π
Chloe and Bryan
slept how peacefully
knowing Santa
riding around the town and lo!
will soon land upon their steps
down the chimney
singing Ho! Ho! Ho!
π
They cheered high
jumping down their beds
looking for a lost sock
never made to their heads
they knew it was time
for getting late was not their kind
π
Mom and dad
were still asleep
so was the sun
and the excited city
together they paddled
chirped and galloped
to the waiting presents
under the big Xmas tree
π
Soon the morning sun
would steal their night
but the glorious streaks of dawn
helped them make out
which said βDear Chloeβ
which was addressed to Bryan.
π
To hearts full of innocent fantasies
To eyes blind to worldly realities
Christmas forever meant
decorating trees, lawns, and sills
berry tarts and plum pies
π
Gifts unwrapped with sheer rush
sweets devoured with glee
there won’t be another morningΒ
a sunrise with shower of gifts
and the morning after ChristmasΒ
was loved better
than any other day of the yearΒ
