Running
the race is about to begin
it begins with the first ray of light
eyes are open and it only takes a second
to realize that it's Christmas Day
off fly the covers, instantly awake
all adrenalin for the year
has been saved for this day
no "wake up sleepy head" this day
and the race is on
but one act of kindness is shared
before leaving the room
the waking of sleeping sibling
and it's time to get this army on the march
run! run! this is the day! it's here!
Santa been here Santa's been here
to the tree! to the tree!
see what Santa left for me
boxes, presents, toys
joy joy joy
for good little boys
