Christmas Morning (Song)
by Italian Stallion

Christmas mornings
The day you left me
But it wasn't intended
To be that way

But you felt the need
To leave my side
And you needed room
To re-align

Through all my life
I've been with you
I asked myself
What happened to us

Why did this
Have to happen this way
Christmas day
Is full of joy

And now on this
Christmas morning
I sit alone
In disbelief

But you felt the need
To leave my side
And you needed room
To re-align

Christmas mornings
The day you left me
But it wasn't intended
To be that way

I want to tell you
That I love you dear
And my hearts been with you
Through all the years

And through all my life
That I've been with you
I've been writing a story
To hand to you

Christmas mornings
The day I would have
Read this story
To you my love

Candlelit dinner for two
All dressed up
And down on one knee
That's how the story was meant to be

Christmas In Heaven
by Italian Stallion

Through out the years
You've always cared
Brought family together
And never compared

Took people in
With open arms
Cared for them
As if they were yours

You were always smiling
Didn't matter what happened
You always warmed the room
With your happy smile

On this given Christmas day
Tears start to roll
As we say good-bye
To the one we loved

But, your love for all
Will never be forgotten
You will always be with us
In our souls and in our hearts

May you rise up
To the heavens above
Give your love
And watch down on all

Lovely

Creeping down the chimney
Came Santa with a smile
I pretended to be sleeping
So he might stay a while

Watched him stacking presents
Prayed he wouldn't go
Before he ate the cookies
I had to say hello

I said, I'm sorry Santa
Wasn't good this year
Just wanted you to know
Before you disappear

He said, now listen Jenny
You try your very best
Nobody is perfect
But truly I'm impressed

You came to say you're sorry
But Santa knows you are
I see what you are feeling
Even from afar

Save your words my child
For the ones you love
It's they, who need to hear them
And what you're thinking of

He hugged me with a warmth
I've never felt before
Then I woke up in my bed
A present on my floor

Unraveled came the ribbon
The note said, "Just for you"
I wondered what could be inside
This little box of blue

As I opened up the box
My heart began to race
Love poured out into the air
Christmas found its place

Inside my heart and in my home
Just where it should be
Love enchanting everything
We touch but cannot see

Silverware of Christmastime.

Spoons do leak the secrets,
held by bells of joy
that ring, ring, ring the songs,
of children's wishing toys.

Forks do whisper nonsense,
to fragrant mistletoes,
as they behold love to come,
swept by awes and oohs.

Knifes do jingle chaos,
to busybody streets,
that forget the day of holiday,
standing at their feet.

Spatula's do solo songs,
to carol here and there.
Christmastime all about,
lingering in the air.

Greatest Time Of Year~Rictameter

Christmas.
Joyful singing,
Faces lit up with glee,
Giving hearts touching saddened minds,
Spreading pleasure like angels rejoicing.
Couples accepting forgiveness,
Love long ago destroyed,
Kindly renewed,
Christmas.

CHRISTMAS CHEER

Underneath the christmas tree
Santa left a note
For he himself on christmas day
Had felt as though he was a joke

Underneath the christmas tree
Santa left a heart
He said that he had been hurt
And his love was very tart

Underneath the christmas tree
Santa left his soul
He said that his christmas cheer
Was sadly unknown and untold

Underneath the christmas tree
Was santa himself
He said that he could not believe
That you were not an elf....
