It’s Christmas Time
December 16, 2012
By Rose Marie Rideout

I opened my eyes to the bright in the sky,
Wondering what was happening and asking why?
I watched as each snowflake fell to the ground,
As the wind blew each snowflake wildly around.
It’s Christmas time, was all I could say,
That’s why we’re having such a beautiful day.

I put on my coat, ran outside to play,
For angels would gather around on this day.
A snowman I’ll build with a bright orange nose,
As my cheeks turned to a deep coloured rose.
The kid from next door came over to play,
We played in the snow most of the day.

I then heard a voice, it sounded like Mom,
It’s late my dear, you’ve played all day long.
I looked at the yard and the fun we had,
To think of it gone would make me feel sad.
It’s Christmas time, was all I could say,
That’s why we’re having such a beautiful day.
