Who Is Knocking At My Door
T'was the eve of Christmas
In my bed, to my dreams, I clung on fast
All alone was I, all alone in a huge house
Stirred not anything, not even a tiny mouse
When oh, the clock did strike the due time
And oh, at the same moment, I heard someone knocking on my door frame
Scared, I chose to keep in bed
Till the visitor would leave, feeling neglected
But the knocking came louder
So much that I felt pushed out of my warm cover
I opened the door and saw no one
Fuming, I swore to get that prankster and punish him deep in his bone
But the moment that I closed the door and went back to bed
The knocking came again and caused me to feel so scared
I opened the door again and saw a little man, all green in color
He smiled at me and told me that he came from our great savior
Pray, please listen to me, I have a message from the Lord
Listen, it comes from the land believed by humans to be so blurred
Talk, I whispered
Talk, I wish to hear that word
Please, keep on doing your duty, keep on being graceful
Life here does never ever be, to anyone, so beautiful
So please, keep on being good and humble
Even if you do feel used, even if you live a daily battle
Remember that here, nothing does last
So, to evil and negative feelings, please do not cling so fast
Even if they skies do be silent
Somewhere, some sort of power does watch you, with eyes, so intent
Pray, do remember this,
Shall you live with this motto, life shall be a bliss!
I mumbled my words of understanding and thanks
The little green man left me, and I felt no more blank
Why, life did have a meaning
Someday, we shall come to its enlightening
For now, I shall wait for Christmas and I shall celebrate
With all those who, on my being, do wait!
No more shall I complain
Indeed, to be miserable, no more shall I feign!
