Christmas Child
by Charles E MinshallMy Mother told me
"They land on the roof,"
So I would listen real hard
For the beat of a hoof.
"He slides down the chimney" she said,
So I would listen for this
As I lay in my bed.
To stay awake
I would try and try,
But sleep always snuck in
And closed each eye. 12/22/2002 Posted on 12/23/2002
