Candy Canes Candy canes hung on the evergreen bough Brings my sweet childhood back to me now Tinsel and Christmas balls, stringing the lights The night before Christmas, in glittering delight We’d help Santa decorate, trimming the tree But then in the morning discovered that he Left peppermint candy canes all through the greens And I knew that he did it to answer my dreams He knew in his heart, that I’d look for them there The candy cane treats when I came down the stair It was magic of Christmas and magic of love The red and white candy sticks hanging above May your soul glow in Christmas as the heart of a child Crystal in purity, honest and mild May the childhood joys in your heart never cease May you have candy canes - May you have peace Elizabeth Santos |

The sounds of children and peppermints. Wonderful combination. Thank you for this. What light through yon window breaks? It is the east, and Juliet is the sun. |

May your soul glow in Christmas as the heart of a child Crystal in purity, honest and mild May the childhood joys in your heart never cease May you have candy canes - May you have peace Really wonderous verse. I love the moments we recall things through our inner child and our childhood. The innocence and magic still lives. Thank you for sharing this piece of peace with us! Love, Peace and Joy Always, Regina |
