Scenes of Christmas

Balls of snow

Balls of shiny glass glow

Some fly through the crisp air

Some glisten in colors that make young eyes stare.

Icicles of frozen water hang

From eaves of homes where carols are sang

Shimmering icicles drape the green pine

Wherever they may pick up the colored lights shine

One star hangs over a scene from up high

Bringing its light and hope for a world to live by;

Blinking and steady sparkling lights drape house and tree

Reflecting the dreams of adult and child this Christmas eve.

Under the star’s light a lone baby

Waits to lead a lost world to its new destiny;

Packages big and small draw eager eyes old and young,

Holding dreams and plans and a story of a Christmas song.
