CHRISTMAS RETURNS

 

Santa comes quietly long before dawn

While shops are still busy and lights are still on.

While dinners are cooking and kitchens are warm

And children count presents they'll open by morn.

 

He slips past the trees in windows aglow

Through the gate to the backyard,

As icy winds blow,

To find the pup he brought last year

Chained up in the snow.

And, kneeling, he whispers,

"Are you ready to go?"

 

There are too many stops like this one tonight,

Before the beginning of his regular flight.

He leaves not a note or footprint in sight

Just an unbuckled collar,

On a cold Christmas night.....
