A Curious Cat Roams At Peace

Evergreen pines Evergreen firs, Yellow moon size star rays shining through, Nighttime in the forest. Red cardinals mutter, mourning doves coo On branches in sleep Roosting in their wait for the morrow To forage. Rustling mice on decaying leaves, A roaming cat strangely at peace with the night, Lets the critters sleep. So curious is he. Big footprints sound and scrape loud whispers, The critters get restless and noisy, Tell each other there’s a brand new day; a human on the way, And chattering twitters turn into joyous prattle. Then the crescent sun of the dawn With its holy glory on the world awakes Rise up. little children, it’s Christmas morn. Rise up, little children, Jesus was born. And Santa has come to celebrate.
