Do You Hear What I Hear

Do you hear what I hear
As snowflakes dance to the ground,
It’s in a stranger’s greeting
As the holidays come around.

Do you hear what I hear
As shoppers bustle here and there,
It’s in the magic of a bell
As it’s ringing fills the air.

Do you hear what I hear
As children laugh with delight,
It’s in the holiday decorations
As they twinkle merry and bright.

Do you hear what I hear
As carolers sing at your door,
It’s in the words of each song
As they are sung with galore.

Do you hear what I hear
As we are blessed this Holy night,
It’s in the stars shinning above us
As they guide us with their wondrous light.

Do you hear what I hear
As family and friends gather around,
It’s in the gifts we share
As Christmas becomes the only sound.

Do you hear what I hear
As Santa and his reindeer fly,
It’s in the way we believe
As his sleigh soars across the sky.

Do you hear what I hear
As peace fills us once a year,
It’s in the way we come together
As we remember why we’re here.

The downside to Christmas is, how the living room looks so empty and bare, when you take down the decorations, lovely poem Deborah>>James
