DM Babbit Poet Rhyme

Christmas Day Comes

Christmas day comes just once every year
   long and anxiously awaited 
 but always anticipated
   then suddenly, surprised it's here.
Preparations complete and done
   as the arrivals with presents come ,
 the careful wrappings on display, 
   now torn and thrown away.
Displayed gifts now adorn the space
   where brightly decorated packages were placed
 laid so carefully in the biggest sea 
   of bountiful gifts beneath the tree.
Tired children, no longer awake to play
   close their eyes, content and satisfied this day
 dreaming of the once perceived
   desired gifts happily received.
Sleepy, stuffed adults ease back and rest
   filled on drinks, snacks and buying out the stores best
 every asked for toy to fulfill the scenes
   of a child's hopes and dreams.
Too quickly now, the day is done
   with Christmas shows and carols sung,
 with turkey, ham, lasagna dinners weighed
   tucked and sadly put away.
A get together full of memories to cherish
   as gifts of past Christmasses  perished
 but the memories remain 
   as Christmas day comes again.
