This quiet night Ti's Christmas eve
Through the evergreen branches are the lights that we weave
Ornament's of memories on its arms did we lay
In anticipation of a grand Christmas day
My children are laughing and saying to me
Are those my presents under the tree?
I smile and say that they just might be
But this is not the meaning of Christmas you see
We snuggle together by the warm fire place
A glow shines upon their sweet little face
A child was born on Christmas night long ago
And from him peace,love and joy They do flow
The children are sleeping now, so I put them to bed
I lean down and kiss them upon their head
Quiet and gentle is this silent night
I take a walk outside where it is lit up with Christmas light
I Feel something wet upon my head
Soon this snow will tuck the leaves asleep into their bed
As it ever so gracefully danced all around
The fluffy white snow flakes fell to the ground
It is morning now and Christmas is here
The children are yelling and shouting a cheer!
Merry Christmas mama, Did you know Santa was here?
He left us a present, but we give it to you
It's a poem mama because we love you

Very Christmasy and it flows so nicely. The last line just sort of fizzles though. I was carried along on the tide of Xmas cheer and a soft sort of longing to share all this and then the last line left me feeling there was something more, something missing.

A quicky note, I'm trying to pick the three top winners, it's sooooooooooooooo hard to do! But as you know! I've been able to come up with extra point to give out to you all! Not sure how much but it's better than nothing I guess, Happy Holidays to you and yours! Good luck

I love the image of the kids nestled in bed while you walk outside enjoying the perfect anticipation of a stage set for Christmas Day. I can hear the flakes fall and see the smile of satisfaction on your face.
Warmest of holly days.

And Merry Christmas to you.
A warm and enjoyable poem. Perhaps the first line of the penultimate stanza could just be 'a touch'? It would contain interesting suggestions.

Best of luck in the contest
Much love,

I liked it... the last two lines left my teary. That's hard to do. My little boy bought me a tigger and winnie the pooh. Because he knew I like them. That's so great when someone gives you something because you like them. That shows love. Of course I paid for it so thats how I know. LoL
Anyway... this is really sweet and tender. I like it. Good luck to you in the contest.
