Heidi Sands Poet Pantoum

I Dream of Riding In a Sleigh

I dream of riding in a sleigh through falling snow
Moving in the shine of colorful lights that glow
I can hear the caroling of songs on my way
It is a beautiful season and I now pray

Moving in the shine of colorful lights that glow
Candles light windows and chimney’s puff a smoke flow
It is a beautiful season and I now pray
For love, joy and warmth in the warm houses to stay

Candles light windows and chimney’s puff a smoke flow
I can hear the caroling of songs on my way
For love, joy and warmth in the warm houses to stay
I dream of riding in a sleigh through falling snow
