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!
