Magical Moment a Christmas Suprise

a magical moment
after midnight
all the lights on the chrismas tree
colorful and bright

the rest of the house
and outside too
quite and dark
no man or animal was making a sound
not even a bark

seemingly time
holding it's breath
in anticipation
like a mother
ready to give birth

I cant go to sleep
anxiously waiting for the sun to rise
to see what suprise
has been left under the tree
just for me

mom and dad
smiles as bright
as the lights on the tree
as they handed presents
to my younger brother and me

after all the presents were opened
mom and dad said "we think there is maybe one more"
Santa couldnt get through the chimney or the door

so we went to the carport
to see what sort
of gift, Santa couldnt get inside

when my brother and I saw the gift
we were breathless,we were stunned
Santa gave us two brand new bikes
to us they were the greatest bikes
second to none

old now
but
still think of that magical moment
every Christmas season


were I am reminded of
the things,bright,shiney and new
and
that the greatest gift
the magical moment and suprise
that is
just for you.
