Words of Encouragement #2

I can hear Santa

First it was the reindeer but now it’s Santa! 

I remain quiet and still
my ear is waiting for a sound
a voice

And my one eye is open wide
while my other remains shut
so it looks like I’m asleep

My face is quiet
and my body is silent

I don’t make a sound
not even a peep
and then I hear Santa creep

I can hear the footsteps 
on the hard wood floor
and a voice
from the room next door

The reindeers hooves made a sound
it made a sound like
POUND POUND POUND

I could hear the jingle of the bells
there sweet sound
made me go to back to bed

The next day would be Christmas Day 
and Santa I really did ask and pray 
for happiness and love 
and joy to us all

Santa please fill my stocking with care
give us the one thing
that my family needs

Merry Christmas Santa
I whisper so soft

Merry Christmas Owen
and sleep well tonight
your wish has been granted
good noght
