Choices, Chances and Changes

Christmas is drawing near… as midnight strikes the choir assemble to sing the joyous hymn of praise

The bells all set to vibrate the whole place with their ringing

Drummers in huddle to start the beat of our hearts with glee and cheers

Pippers pipping as they march and dance along with every rhythm and melody

As children run outside to greet Santa on his sleigh with gifts he’s bringing.

I smiled like a child while I sketch every scene and every move

There’s that little kid at heart in me awaiting for the snow to fall

There’s that deeper prayer of white Christmas to wake up to

That the first snowfall of Christmas covers the world in white blanket

A cloak of hope and a quilt of love to comfort us all.

I play the picture in my head… a theatre of nothing but love and faith

The orchestra of angels serenading us… to hear the prayers in our trusting hearts

The stars glisten as Rudolf’s red nose glimmer for us to believe… to see tomorrow

That somehow inside us we still wish for something… the gift we need

That somewhere we continue to dream… we pursue that dream we want.

Tonight as we lay in bed… in silence we softly mumble our little wish

Tonight as our eyes feel heavy… we count our every blessing with grateful hearts

Tonight as we are deep in slumber… we see the facets of our desire

Tonight as we dream… we reach a rainbow to whisper a prayer

That for tonight’s stillness a wishing star will stop by to grant the innocent’s sigh.

Merry Christmas to all little big kids!
