Santa

Christmas tree glows through the window
twinkling it's message of hope
for all passing by to see
little glows, candles twinkling messages of peace

icicle streamers shine brightly in the light
each strand a labor of love
thrown into the open arms of the tree
grasped tightly to keep them from falling

as each one lands
the tree quivers in delight
knowing it will bring joyful glee to child and adult
one can almost hear the tinkling laughter
of the hopeful children
whose wonder-filled eye
gaze into the lights
knowing "The Man" will arrive tonight
