A Childs Christmas

Family gathered around the tree on christmas eve As grandpa tells the tale of jolly st. Nick The eyes of every child in attendance gleaming wide As grandma fixes the string of silver tinsel on the live tree The children cheer as she lights each little candle on the branches just right Their flicker brings a smile across her face Each glass ornament and wooden dove Lay gently on its branches While colorful wrapped gifts are tucked neatly beneath the tree And children carried to their rooms Are nestled in their beds.
