A Christmas Morning

The children wake, bright and early
After a night of restless sleep
The race, giggling to the foot of their parents bed
“Wake up, wake up!” They shout in glee.
They run downstairs to the Christmas Tree
to see what Santa left for thee
As the parents watch on
Paper flies
and gifts piled high are opened
“Thank you Santa!”
“Thank you Mommy and Daddy!”
“Yeah for Christmas Morning!”
The children start to play,
the parents back away,
to go back for their much needed Christmas sleep.
