The sun sets on another day…
Stunning. It is all that can be said. Simply stunning.
Twas the night before Christmas
and I took a look
I wanted adventure
I wanted a book
I knew Santa’s coming was soon and was now
but I wanted to read more, and read it aloud
So I picked up a book and I quickly kept reading
and speaking each word as my mind it was feeding
I read for a time and it turned into hours
I felt lots of things but mostly empowered
I heard silent footsteps they came from the den
so I quickly went forward and then walked right in
There stood a vision dressed all in red
He smiled at my bookshelves and nodded his head
I smiled at my luck to see such a man
and quickly with purpose I reached out my hand
but in the instant it took he was straight up the chimney
and I was unsure of my eyes for what I did see
but as I looked to the tree that sat in the corner
I saw dozens of books stacked all in order
I smiled at the gift that meant so much to me
that I knew that adventure was what I would see
and as I bent forward I heard all the words
On Dasher and Dancer and so many more
I was happy I saw him and hope I saw more
No net nor no TV was needed for my night
For Santa had made everything right
I sat down to read and smiled once again
because Christmas is imagination and mine will not end.
So as the sun sets on another day, I hope all of you have a super Christmas eve and an even better Christmas morning.
Sleep sweet, love life, and live it each and every day…
