Such memories of childhood, which remain In those sweet days when you used to believe Snow softly fell, upon your windowpane Tired, and excited on this Christmas Eve Fickle hearts desire, simple dreams fulfilled A promise tonight, brought by Santa Claus Snow, now lays deep even sleigh bells are stilled And upon the morrow, love shall be yours Gently sleep little girl, sleep little boy Trust in all those things that you have been told In your own playful world, cherish each toy Until, you grow up, cynical and old For no matter what may be your belief? Tooth fairies, and God, will steal all your teeth |

Father Christmas still comes,Steve,to fulfill the dreams of young and old. That's a tardis sleigh he has,full of unfulfilled dreams. The world needs him now more than ever. |

Your beautiful sonnet, seem an easy task, and yet I cannot bring myself to write in that fashion or rhyme...lovely verse...and thank you for the smile... Seriously, I believe that Christmas is for children and adults alike. To make things happen ... to bring out the spirit that youth holds... Mariaxx |
