A cold Christmas eve, a long time ago <br />a young boy watched out the window at the snow <br />as it fell to the ground finally covering the grass <br />the first Christmas snow arrived finally at last. <br /> <br />Out in the kitchen his mother was stirring <br />a warm cocoa drink, for the cold night occurring. <br />Next to the fire, in the snug living room <br />sat a plate full of cookies all ready to consume. <br /> <br />When all of a sudden the front doorbell rang. <br />followed by music the carolers sang. <br />Opening the door a wonder was found <br />the magic of Christmas in the beautiful sounds. <br />The carolers sang out of a Christmas long ago. <br />They sang of a sleigh that would dash through the snow. <br />They sang of the yuletide, of loving and joy. <br />Just the right songs to touch <br />the heart of a boy. <br /> <br />The sang about reindeer, of how toys would appear. <br />they sang of being good because Santa was near. <br />Then a very special song made the evening just right <br /> a song of the baby born that Silent Night. <br /> <br /> Mother invited them all for cookies inside <br />and warm cocoa for all with marshmallows beside. <br />When the time finally came, for the carolers to dismiss, <br /> one final song, a Merry Christmas wish. <br /> <br />Mother then hugged her son as she tucked him in bed <br />as the music of Christmas now rang in his head. <br />With a kiss on the cheek, she wished him good night <br />the little boy smiled, everything was alright. <br /> <br />The Christmas Eve snow had arrived just in time <br />As the little boy slept the midnight bell chimed. <br />Christmas had arrived what a wonderful sight <br />in a magical way that could snowy night. <br /> <br /> <br />Tom Krause - Christmas 2013<br /><br />Tom Krause<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-christmas-eve-snow/
