Outside the church bells ring, <br />And merry souls <br />Carol sing. <br /> <br />Of this day that comes once a year, <br />Bringing together loved ones <br />Both far and near. <br /> <br />Many a gift full of surprise, <br />Bringing the magic of Christmas <br />To every child's eye's. <br /> <br />On the tree Christmas lights glow, <br />And holly and ivy and mistletoe. <br /> <br />Christmas card scenes of snow and Santa on his sleigh, <br />Sending love and happiness <br />And wishing one and all a perfect Christmas day.<br /><br />GORDON BUTCHERS<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/merry-christmas-32/
