*Christmas Joy* Twas the night before Christmas And, all through the house Everyone was sleeping – except… A five year old mouse. In the darkness, as I layed on the bed I played with toys in my head. Excited that Santa was on his way I’d been a good girl, Mommy said. Twas the night before Christmas And, all through the house Everyone was sleeping – except… A sixteen year old mouse. Arriving home way too late I quietly tip toed to my room Almost made it when mother said “Its way past your curfew, go to bed.” Twas the night before Christmas And, all through my house My children were sleeping – except… Momma Mouse. Tired and ready to curl up in bed But, too much to wrap, I can’t get ahead. Oh No! – There’s no more scotch tape I’ll use duct tape instead. Twas the night before Christmas And, all through my house My teenagers were testing me. Guess what? Way too late staying out. Their presents were wrapped And placed under the tree. I had even doubled scotched taped Because, I knew they would peek. This night before Christmas Throughout my house Not a creature will be stirring Not even Momma Mouse. I’ll be dreaming of my loved ones They’re my most precious of gifts. I’ll be thanking my Lord, and Savior For simply blessing me with this. God bless everyone…….Merry Christmas!
