A bachelor, who dreams about a family as special as this, is bringing you this memory. Enjoy my dream. My child of sparkling eyes Bouncing with such joy in life It is Christmas Eve All your fantasies are before your eyes As you keep looking out the window In the spirit of the season of love Oh child how blessed you are The warmth you have created in us In the growing up you have done A little child so small you once where In that freshness you still abound But with so much more energy That you race around me in anticipation Now that the sun has dimmed The sleigh is riding the sky We now sit before the fireplace of love Sharing each other as a family As the angels sing their chorus around us You fight your sleep But the drain of the day Has put sand in those eyes As we watch you enter your fantasy We then gather you up Into a bundle of joy Along with your favorite buddy You are put away to dream The night is long And the fireplace must dim As the tree grows bigger Into the delights that memories will last in And as the tree gathers up its lists We sit in the arms of a love so special That the hues bless us into the inner warmth Of holding each other ever so tenderly Crash goes the night For it is Christmas Day The bed a jumping What is this earthquake? Wake up Mom and Dad Wake up Santa’s already has been here Time is a wasting So the paper goes flying In piles so high That they will never grow small As the flash of emotions Put a parents smile to work And after all those special moments Which come so fast We stop to give thanks For the reasons we are a family In the prayers that reach the heavens We remember the warmth we share With the spirit that put it there Merry Christmas we say In a song as a family Bless us for another year As we add an item to our tree A reminder of what this year had offered Remembering the first Christmas together Along with a shoe so small That it held a dream Who this year added something In his ornament of the perfect love D.Lester Young (12/23/01 9:00 PM) Tuscaloosa, AL Copyright © D.Lester Young (White Eagle) |
