| Christmas Elves There's silence on the streets this morn while humans grab what's left of sleep Blankets of darkness wait to lift as tiny feet on sidewalks creep With coned hats topped by golden bells that tinkle as they skip along They dress in green from head to toe singing forgotten Christmas songs Smiles light faces of Christmas Elves approaching a home with no lights They know that those who live inside will fill this house with squealed delights With silent speech they place the prize upon the step for kids to find Then climb on backs to reach the door and knock to wake up humankind They scatter like the windswept leaves to hide close by and watch the fun Shining eyes peek beneath the bush for Christmas magic that's begun The light comes on, they hold their breath The door squeaks open, silence reigns A heartfelt gasp now fills the air laughter's tempo from voices gains Family gathered round exclaims over baskets filled with delights Colored packages wrapped with love sparkling joy that ignites Happiness makes a house a home as they share love this winter day Brought by magic this time of year from Christmas Elves who fade away Karen Tomayer |
