Who Is Knocking At My Door

I’m spending a quiet evening this Christmas – just by myself; I’ll light a solitary candle, Sit snugly by the fire, And dwell upon my life. No one is coming over and I have to go nowhere, I have bought no gifts and have nothing to sip or savor. But wait ... Who now knocks at the door? Who, I wonder, would venture out in this frosty Christmas night? As I open the door I see on my doorstep A wicker basket with warm loaves of bread, And a jug of wine fetchingly laid! There is no one in sight, Hush all around and quiet, But then ... through this dark and foggy night, I see A solitary star aglow and footprints in the snow! ~Who is knocking at my door contest by Tammy Reams
