Christmas In the Park

Tantalizing sights of a winters moonlight With snow glistening as sparking stars A crunch as you walk upon fresh new snow Snowmen gather through the streets Covered with silvery white and a top hat Decorations abound seen all around Blinking lights with traffic lights, large windows Trains cycling with elf’s giving gifts in stores Children giggling and laughing while dreaming Fireplaces blazing, music in the background Stocking hung to be filled with treats A time of joy only once a year to bring joy Bells ringing with Santa asking for giving While shoppers walk by carrying new toys Tents erected in the snow huddling by a fire Some with no food others have no shoes A can of soup and crackers for Christmas dinner Wondering in wonder about tomorrow Children with blank stares and shame Life will never be the same hoping this is a game One in a Manger among the sheep His birth came upon this Day
