Breeze and Fireworks

Listen to poem:
Pure white clouds Pure fresh breeze Breeze pass the dogs hunting for a scare Breeze pass the trees Trees smell of pine Trees weighed down with snow Snow raining down Snow pelting the roof Roof standing firm Roof keeps us warm Warm as the fire glows Warm as we slumber Slumber the animals sleep outside Slumber ends as dawn breaks Breaks out the door the children do Breaks out tumbling me and you You look at me with a warm smile You see through me with your dreamy eyes Eyes flutter open wide Eyes peer into the darkness Darkness floods the room Darkness fades as the light glows Glows the room as light fades in Glows my skin as it feels the sun Sun comes up over the Caribbean sea Sun peeps through the coconuts and bananas Bananas are sweet and delicious Bananas must be in my breakfast Breakfast is stew chicken and yams Breakfast the best time of day Day is cooled by a Christmas breeze Day spent with family Family makes life brighter Family makes the holiday sweeter Sweeter is the food at this time Sweeter you get year by year Year is almost over Year goes as it arrives Arrives by bus does the rest of the family Arrives with suitcase full of gifts Gifts for friends Gifts for strangers Strangers gather in the town Strangers dance to the reggae sound Sound of laughter and good cheer Sound of fireworks Fireworks sparkle and shine like a dream Fireworks shoot up off and on Dream… On…
