Now for the final touch that will welcome Christmas
to this little family who had not thought to enjoy
the more sweet and delightful parts of a Christmas
where want and need could be put aside for a little time

Upon the mantle, next to the nativity that seemes to fill
the room with soft love of the gentlest kind, is a
music player waiting for the touch of magic that it can
sing forth with the song White Christmas and call all awake

As the first strains of music are heard the little elves
are slipping out the window but not to go too far
for they want to see the faces of little ones as
they gaze upon the magic that is to be revealed

In the bedroom the children, hearing the music, scramble
from their beds to open the door on such a wonder that
their young eyes have never seen before and cry with
glee as they run to their mother to wake and come see

Not awake yet but responding to the joyous voices of
her children she drags herself from her bed to stand
in stunned silence in the doorway open onto the most
amazing site filled with things only her dreams could form

With her children pulling at her and explaining that
Santa had found them this year, she moves into a room
she no longer recognizes as her own, for it is filled
with Christmas cheer and the sweet sounds of music

As the children dance around the room exclaiming over
all the wonderful things she turns to the window to see
that Christmas snow still falla and wonders if there
is really something true to the old tale her mother told

And if she had looked a little closer she would have seen two dozen tiny
faces gazing with total delight on the
scene of happy children watched over by a loving mother
whose eyes flow with tears as she sends a prayer
of thanks to Heaven for The Magic Of Christmas Snow

The magic of Christmas snow and warm hearts are through these poems. It must also be within you to write so sweet.

I sure hope they left MOM a pot of coffeee and maybe some Kahlua or Amaretto...to help her recover from shock and a mountaing of giftwrappings and ribbons.
This has been a delightful series, Karen. I will save all 4 and email them to my sister-in-law. My brother will be in Angola for Christmas (working), not at home with his two kids. I think they will enjoy this.
