~ Sounds Of
Christmas ~
There's music of
the holidays
Playing on the
radio -
There's
Christmas
decorations
Almost
everywhere you
go.
The Salvation
Army bells
Ring out for the
poor -
The "Ho,ho." of
Santa Claus
In the
department
stores.
Carolers sing
Christmas songs
-
Going, house to
house -
Tales about,
where no one
stirs
Not even, a
mouse.
Hoof beats in
fresh fallen
snow
Pulling, an open
sleigh -
Children asking
Mom and Dad
"Is Santa on his
way?"
Cracklin' from
the fireplace -
Roasting
chestnuts 'neath
the coals -
The soft murmur
of prayers
Said, for the
lost souls.
Friends and
family gather
To toast,
Christmas cheer
-
There's sounds
of angels
singing
(If, you really
want to hear.
The sounds of
Christmas, fill
the air
As we celebrate
His birth -
Wishing joy, to
all mankind
And peace to all
on earth.
