The Magic of Christmas

The Magic of Christmas


The night before Christmas
When all through the house
Was silent
Even all the dead mouse
I lay there so quiet
Inside the stove
My face contorted
White as snow
The Christmas lights outside
Shining bright
On guard and not letting any one in
They may after all see the fright
I am sure my feet twitched in the air
A final dance of sorts
Please let no one despair
The magic of Christmas filled my soul
I realized I had no where else at all to go

Oh Holy Night

It is us who should thank you, its a dark difficult topic, and hard to admit, but its there, by discussing it, even making light of it, letting people know, its a wee bit of help I hope. Cheers
