bells!

I can hear the bells ringing in my ear.
They are so loud that all can hear.
Santa rides through town in his slay.
and as he does the children pray .

Naughty or nice you have a gift.
You should now, its something that YOU have.
you should figure it out before my shift.

On that table lay some cookies on a plate.
The cookies are not gone.
The children wonder if he was late.

I can hear the bells slowly going away.
The yells of laughter and joy start as the children awake.
But If you did not get A present.
Try to remember that you have a family.

I think too it is a good poem. The best writing comes from the heart: writing down what you feel.
