~ Christmas
Eve Wish ~
Winter's wrath
has settled in
dangles from
half frozen
limbs
all alone 'n
dreading night
wrapped in
veils of
purest white
Christmas Eve
and here I
stand
silence echoes
'cross the
land
wishing hard
with all my
might
to find a home
before dawn's
light
My essence of
a pine perfume
will waltz
with grace
from room to
room
spreading love
as special
gift
with twinkling
eyes for inner
peace
I'll fill your
home with
smiles of joy
make sadness
in your heart
deploy
share the
warmth of
ember's glow
together watch
fresh falling
snow
Hymnals sung
by candlelite
inner Spirit
shining bright
gifts for
children 'neath
my dress
excitement on
their morning
face
Hidden
treasures red
'n gold
eggnog kisses,
mistletoe
stars whisper
gentle lullaby
hush of
midnight,
closes eyes
Please grant
my wish this
Christmas Eve
pick me as
your favorite
tree
limbs half
frozen
dreading night
weeping 'neath
cold veils of
white
