The night before Christmas.

The night before Christmas

Twas the night before Christmas

when all through the house,

Not a creature was stirring,

not even a mouse.

A little stocking was hung

by the chimney with care.

Though hopes it be filled,

would never be there.

A baby was missing,

from being snug in their bed.

While tear soaked pillows,

surrounded their heads.

Mommy with her blanket,

and daddy with her hat,

Couldn't settle down

for a long winter's nap.

When down in their heart,

there arose such a clatter.

They sprang from the bed

to see what was the matter.

Away to the window they flew 

and they dashed.

Tore open the curtains

and saw a bright flash.

When what to their wondering eyes

should appear,

but a beautiful angel,

precious, tiny, and dear.

She stood there before them,

pure happiness and health,

and they laughed when they saw her,

in spite of themself.

She smiled and she stared,

and didn't offer  a sound.

She outstretched her arms,

And flew from the ground.

They stared and they cried,

tears streamed down their face.

They knew in their hearts,

she had found the right place.

As she rose higher and higher

to the heavens above.

She left mommy and daddy

with nothing but love.

But they heard her exclaim

as she drifted from sight,

Merry Christmas Mommy and Daddy.

Please have a good night.
