In the magic of a child’s Christmas eyes
So full of awe with such innocence
That their emotion cast spells
Into the deepest part of your heart

In a glee that only youth can duplicate
The energy to run down any adult
Who finally gets everything under the tree
To be awoken from asleep to awaiting eyes
Saying time a wasting

Soaring paper wrapping
In towering mounds
Of Christmas sounds
Torn to threads in split seconds
Each gift being totally devoured
In record timing

And when your bundle of joy
Finally come over to thank you
Hug your child
And savor the moment
For this is the ultimate dessert
Of the magical season

So as the day passes
Take the time to give thanks
As family being so fortunate
With the peace of having been blessed
With so many special moments
