Such treasures through the window I view
another Christmas where many wishes come true
a tree of great stature catches my eye
with baubles and candles way up to the sky.
Figures so tiny with stories to tell
dancing under the tree as they cast their spell
reminders of those handed down through the years
spellbound they listen, the meaning so clear.
Poinsettia's deck the room in colours so bright
as the night creeps on in, what a beautiful sight
gather round one and all it's time for some songs
before Santa arrives, his sleigh jingling along.
An outsider I am, yet this brings me great pleasure
for inside there's much love and no greater treasure
I feel my spirit belongs in this room full of love
I think I'll sit atop the tree, I am the peace of the dove.
