on windowsills
roasted chestnut
pine burning
turkey roasting
and dripping
away
coffee and cream
awoken from dream
to dream
sight of snow
or wreath and
bow. and lights
like stars
sound of bells
ringing. nat king cole
singing through the point
of a needle on vinyl
to you
children
laughing and jumping
for joy
smiling christians
at the dawn
of day
the kids take the stairs
three or four at a time
to the tree
and gifts
below
grandparents moved
and moving real
slow
may saint nick
ride his sleigh on
eight or more
magical flying reindeer
deep
to all the homes of all
the bad children
too
to see the no good ones
to forgive them
may saint nick
ride the magic on
to the east
to the islamic children
the buddhist children
the hindu children
the hebrew children
so allof all faiths
feel loved
big and little children alike
on christmas day
good and the bad
naughty and nice
ones who eat meat
ones who eat rice
ones who never seen
the sparkle of ice
and may we learn a thing
from our imagination
this Xmas
and learn to love
more easily
now
