Christmas

It's here, it's here, it's finally arrived Christmas is upon us again Haven't been this so darn excited Since can't remember when Gifts a-plenty for family and friends A happiness time all 'round Joy exists deep down in our souls As Christmas wishes abound Haven't felt such a spirited feeling Since I was just a tiny tot Trouble sleeping on Christmas Eve What could dear Santa have brought Once again Christmas is here Spreading joy throughout the land Precious moments we'll forever treasure Journeying through life hand in hand So I wish all you guys on Poetry Soup The warmest of Christmas greetings Too bad I couldn't give you all a big hug Maybe upstairs we'll finally be meeting It's here, it's here, it's finally arrived Christmas is upon us once more! © Jack Ellison 2012
