About This Poem
CHRISTMAS EVE
CHRISTMAS EVE
reindeer on the roof
crackling wood fire on the hearth
stirring memories
how magic the night
with all its mingled voices
for joy shed a tear
the tree – family
the lights – red, green, silver – bright
christmas child’s delight
the manger scene
with babe, simple animals
how warm, natural
head on a pillow
gazing up at the ceiling
a web of shadows
young thoughts go racing
mist – santa’s elves on the stairs
wishing time away
till it’s morning
those presents under the tree
eyelids grow heavy
before dropping off
this deep, jolly, ho, ho, ho!
Then to sleep
