Joseph May Poet Rhyme

White Christmas

The street lights stood as sentinels
 As snowflakes gently fell
 Christmas presents were all unwrapped
 As snow glistened  from  rooftops

 The fir tree wore a coat of white
 And Christmas lights shone bright
 Santa and his sleigh rode by
 As children waved bye - bye

 Carolers sang with hearts aglow
 some of my favorite yuletide songs
 As the chorus grew I sang along
 Let it snow - let it snow - let it snow
