Visions of Christmas
When you think of Christmas, what
do you see -
a wreath, a candle, a star or a
tree?
A profusion of lights may come
to mind;
a choir, a pageant, or a deed that
is kind.
Children in awe, with eyes so bright,
learning the meaning of the very
first night;
And then the tradition of Santa,
in red -
they listen for sleigh-bells when
tucked into bed.
When you think of Christmas, what
do you see?
I see the children, minds open
and free.
