Christmas Magic

It was very peaceful in sight,
                                     A child woke up in the middle of the night,
                                    Heard something moving in the living room,
                            So he decided to check and saw a man with costume.

                   Still groggy from his deep slumber he holds his teddy bear so tight,
                         Peeking closely to the dark shadow wearing red in dim light,
                            It’s Santa Claus sitting comfortably on a rocking chair,
                            Holding a glass of wine, smiling, and toss it on midair.

                        It’s Christmas magic in the eyes of this child, who wonder,
                         He hopes Santa will grant his wish to give him a brother,
                         To play with him every day and during the time of winter,
                     So that his family will be happy on Christmas day and forever.

              When a child wants to go to Santa Claus, who looks huge and fantastic, 
              He disappeared in seconds and he only saw glittering crystals in the air,
                   He run and knocks to his parent’s room and told a story of magic,
              He’s happy and feels Christmas Magic in the cool breeze of December.
