A Wonderful Life

Up and down the streets candles are lit, to guide Santa's sleigh. While, It's a wonderful life, on tv plays. Children tucked in their beds, their Christmas list's already made. Strings of popcorn wrapped around the tree, and ornaments placed so carefully. A string of lights and a star at the top glowing ever so brightly. Stockings hung by the fire and all feels so very warm and cozy. While eight little children peek over the stair railing to see Santa and his cheeks so rosy. As Momma casually says to Papa, Santa won't come if their are any children awake and nosy! As the patter of little feet dash back to bed, I stop and turn my head. To look back just in time to hear Papa say, it really is a wonderful life, just like Jimmy Stewart said! ..
