Christmas Eve

 Christmas cheer at this time of year

As those we love gather far and near.

Festive songs and blinking lights;

cooking, baking, long into the nights;

Little folks stare with big-eyed wonder

At piles of gifts and the tree they're under.

Hurry, the lists must keep pace with the days.

One more now is left, so the calender says.

As I rush with the vacuum and mop in my grip,

I stop in an instant with a smile on my lip.

 

Peaceful, quiet, lost in his snores:

His slumber makes me giggle,

a funny pause from my chores.

Then I get up from the picture I stooped to snap.

Now back to the tasks, I'll leave him to his nap.

Happy Christmas Eve, everyone!!!
