Snow Angel

A Christmas Poem

Church bells ring as carolers sing Church bells ring as carolers sing

the dancing gingerbread man's a magical thing the dancing gingerbread man's a magical thing

Like wondering how marvelous angel wings begin Like wondering how marvelous angel wings begin

as you stare at the snow piling up to your chin as you stare at the snow piling up to your chin

Just dive in and swim the backstroke with glee Just dive in and swim the backstroke with glee kick your heels together in rhythm merrily kick your heels together in rhythm merrily

White wings will unfold as wide as a bow White wings will unfold as wide as a bow

Ah, no better way to play in the snow!

Ah, no better way to play in the snow!

Now run to the forest and find a winter tree Now run to the forest and find a winter tree

tall as a polar bear, green as the sea tall as a polar bear, green as the sea

Adorn it with rainbows, tinsel and treats Adorn it with rainbows, tinsel and treats remember don't step on the gifts at your feet remember don't step on the gifts at your feet

Those mysteries tied up with ribbons of joy

Those mysteries tied up with ribbons of joy soon will be unwrapped with surprises galore soon will be unwrapped with surprises galore

Just wait 'til that morning after Santa drops by Just wait 'til that morning after Santa drops by your heart will be full, you'd think you could fly your heart will be full, you'd think you could fly

Then later you'll nap, snuggling up with a new toy

Then later you'll nap, snuggling up with a new toy

and dream of a love that brings you great joy and dream of a love that brings you great joy

Like three wise men who celebrated Jesus's birth Like three wise men who celebrated Jesus's birth bringing gifts of frankincense, gold and mirth bringing gifts of frankincense, gold and mirth

As a star shined above sparkly and bright As a star shined above sparkly and bright announcing God's greatest gift that wondrous night announcing God's greatest gift that wondrous night

Asleep in a manger of straw for a bed

Asleep in a manger of straw for a bed with angel wings fluttering overhead with angel wings fluttering overhead

While the cow chewed hay, the donkey brown oats

While the cow chewed hay, the donkey brown oats

his mother's pure love nurtured his growth his mother's pure love nurtured his growth

Now cherish these festive celebrations within Now cherish these festive celebrations within memories that gather again and again memories that gather again and again

Collecting Christmases like treasured old clocks

Collecting Christmases like treasured old clocks that year after year chime tick-tock that year after year chime tick-tock

Oh, how lovely church bells ring as carolers sing

Oh, how lovely church bells ring as carolers sing

And what joy those angel wings do bring! And what joy those angel wings do bring!

Watching your child roll around in the snow

Watching your child roll around in the snow just as you did many Christmases ago. just as you did many Christmases ago.
