On this Christmas Eve
The candles burn so bright
An evergreen stands
With the garland shimmering
From the little lights

Decorations
Dress up this empty house
Stockings hung by the fireplace
Gifts lay under the tree
Ready for Christmas day

The fire slowly dims
Telling its time for bed
All you hear are the footsteps
Of tired but excited children
Waiting for that special day

The Christmas star shines so brightly
Snow falls with graceful silence
Neighbors lighting the darkness
Guiding jolly old Saint Nick

Sun rises over a winter wonderland
The icicles glisten
From the welcome light
The screams and laughter
Of children’s delight
Echo as they run for the awaiting sight

It’s Christmas day and
The people cheer with delight
Exchange of gifts and holiday spirit
A love is passed from person to person
Giving joy to all who are near

Family and friends come your way
Bring cheer and joy and a little wine
A Christmas feast ready for
Many to come and enjoy
There’s singing and laughter
Along with crying

As Christmas comes our way
We share the time that we
Have with one another and
Sing out for all to hear

LOVE IT~!

In spite of its simplicity of composition, I really love that this is a completely unpretentious poem that salutes tradition and honestly evokes the season and the pure, loving feeling that comes with it.
This is the kind of poem that Gaia needs more of, instead of "deep", self-pitying monologues.
