Christmas Day

The little girls arise just as the sun hits the horizon The tiny feet hit the floor as they run out the room, excitement in every step Large boxes with big shiny bows are enough to make them squeal Paper is torn left and right as new toys are piled high in the room An empty glass and plate full of crumbs is left to be cleaned and put away Snow lightly falls in the yard as boots and mittens are put on The snow angels and sled track traces are left on the white banks As coats are hung the girls as dressed with tights and bows The family is gathered at the table for a warm Christmas feast Bellies all full, the girls lay their heads to rest
