Twas a winter's night
Tinsel and a single light,
Lit up that little room
And a poinsettia in full bloom.
A single blanket, on a single bed
With a single light, the two laid and read,
"The night before Christmas", he said
As they snuggled, she kissed him on the forehead.
As he read in that little room
With the poinsettia in full bloom,
Thru the little window she looked at the sky
Just as a single snowflake drifted by.
She jumped up from that single bed
To the window she sped,
With a look of joy
"come quick!", She gestured to the boy.
Up from the bed by that single light
To the window he went to see the sight,
That single snowflake, was now a whitened sky
Winter had come, a few flakes to say hi.
They watched, those two
Christmas lights coming on, as if on cue;
From that single window, with the single light
The falling flakes, colorful lights, filling the night.
"Merry Christmas" she said
In that little room with the single bed.
"Merry Christmas" he replied
As a winter wonderland was forming outside.
They kissed and he held her tight
As they watched the snow on that winter's night,
"This night is perfect" she said at the beautiful sight
In that little room, with that single light.
The two watched as the world turned white
On that Christmas Eve night,
They could almost hear the jingle
Of a little sleigh, and jolly ole Kris Kringle.
