~My Christmas Eve~

 

The white lights so brightly shines

Making sparkles on the fir tree

The old clock on the mantle chimes

It's now quarter pass three

 

Pretty plaid ribbons surround the gifts

Toys are gently put in their place

Wine is on ice, hot chocolate to sip

Napkins are folded on Christmas plates

 

Cookies and milk for Santa

Oats for the little reindeers

A diamond ring is hid in the tree for Anna

Soon all my loved ones will be here

 

The rooms will light up with laughter

Scented candles will softly glow

Not a care in my heart will matter

Watching the fluffy white falling snow

 

As I watch each one from a distant

Opening gifts in merry play

I will dwell on this perfect instant

Closing my eyes I will quietly pray

 

"Dear Lord watch over my loved ones

And those friends I hold so dear

Cradle them in your arms, holding them

Safe in this coming New Year

 

May they all find happiness and peace

Good health, much joy and true love

This is all I ask for Christmas Eve...

Angels bless them from heaven above"
