Home For Christmas

Upon this night of Christmas lights A heavy snow came drifting down From faraway I saw a red and golden sleigh Then to my fright there were jingling bells ringing Then a red dot appeared leading Santa’s way Back into bed I went with wondering thoughts I closed my eyes only to hear a Ho, Ho, Ho Then I heard a load clatter upon the roof And heard many reindeer's hoofs I jumped out of bed wanting to see But then what I saw I could not believe There were presents all under the tree A bike, with all the boxes wrapped with bows The milk was gone and the cookies to Even the carrots were eaten A huge smile came upon my face For it was now Christmas Day I ran to my parents jumping for joy Yelling and screaming wake up But only my mother was there Forgetting that my father was off to war She awoke and we sat together Both with teardrops in our eyes We sat among all the presents When we heard a knock at the door I ran to answer it and there he was in his uniform of war Taller than I have ever seen before He spoke and said: Santa dropped me off for you! This was, The best Christmas of all
