A Beautiful Christmas
'Twas the night before Christmas
I was filled with gracious prose
for all the gifts I have been given
that didn't come with bows
I knew I already had
all I'd ever need
but there was one more thing
that would make my world complete
I felt selfish to ask
so I asked for something else
a brand new pair of glasses
and nothing else
I didn't ask for what I truly wanted
though I prayed somehow he knew
I fell asleep with childish hope
my secret wish might just come true
Morning came
and my hope slightly faded
as I checked beneath the tree
and saw nothing special waited
I accepted that it wasn't time
and that was okay
There'd be another Christmas
There'd be another day
Then suddenly two tiny hands
handed me a gift
I wondered what my two year old
and his daddy could have picked
A pair of glasses I thought
as I opened up the case
but inside it was my gift
as tears streamed down my face
I realized I had gotten my wish
and love was all I could see
As I heard those beautiful words
"Will you marry me?"
