The Last Christmas

As I gaze, into a child's eyes I see the joys of Christmas past I see the hope that used to be Wonderful to be so young and free A child's eyes, all bright with wonder At Santa s promise of xmas plunder Singing carols, under mistle toe Rum eggnog kisses, make our cheeks so glow Snowballs and sleds, all of winters fun Turkey stuffing, cranberries and rum Glad tidings given to young and old May god bless for sins untold The angels dancing in the sky Now its time to say good bye This Christmas carol has come to end For I will soon be far away Watching over infants play Heavenly bliss is mine eternal The young will grow, and dance and sing The cycle continues, on angel wings They will travel down St Nicks road And hear stories from the old For laughter will be, the days only menu As life unfolds, one and all say adieu
