A Christmas Poem for Children



A Christmas Poem for Children


The snow has started falling,
And the angel’s on the tree,
There are cookies baking ,
For my sister and for me.


There’s a huge roaring fire,
To keep us cozy and warm,
And Grandpa and Grandma,
Arrived before the storm.


We had a festive dinner,
With lots of special treats,
Followed by desserts,
And once-a-year sweets.


Our house is full of cheer,
Bright bows and sprigs of pine,
Every room is glowing,
Resplendent and so fine.


Mama tells of Christmas customs,
In lands so far from home,
Some mysterious and exotic,
Where we hope some day to roam.


Papa reads the Christmas story,
Then we’ll soon be tucked away,
To dream of jolly Santa Claus,
For tomorrow is Christmas Day!

  7. This poem would make a very nice Christmas story book for young children Carmen if you could find an illustrator to draw pictures for it! Have you ever tried to find an agent for children's books?

    PS: The church in my blog post is not Trinity near Wall Street. Sorry if that was confusing in some way. We took a cab from that area up to Greenwich Village neighborhood to attend the Christmas concert at The Church of The Ascensionon Fifth Ave and 10 St. It us another beautiful and historic church.
