Merry Christmas, verse # 12

Merry Christmas…

Impatient packages beneath a tree of green,
wrapped in pretty paper tied with bows or tied with string,
lights along the hearth give the room a pretty glow,
the angel upon the treetop is dressed in silver and in gold,
the cat is pawing gently at the tinsel hanging loosely from the tree,
but then climbs upon the packages and quickly falls asleep,
and what the cat shall dream of, humans never know,
but could it be he dreams of treats wrapped in packages with bows,
and when you smile at the beauty of your Christmas tree of green,
and see impatient packages tied with ribbon or with string,
what is it that you wish for in your heart and in your soul,
as you wish upon the pretty lights that give the room a glow,
so write it down on paper, fold it up, make a hole for string,
then hang it near the Santa Claus upon the tree of green,
and whisper it to the angel dressed in silver and in gold,
as the lights along the hearth give the room a pretty glow,
and have faith that you shall receive all your Christmas dreams,
and that you’ll find your heart’s desire on this Christmas Eve.
