Poetic Verses
Christmas in the Dark
In the middle of the night
I heard a scratching sound,
The room was pitch dark
and I felt my way around.
The tree lights were off
and I was feeling blind,
I walked a bit unsteady
not knowing what I'd find.
Suddenly I took a step
going the wrong way,
I slid down each step
to the floor where I lay.
I needed a flashlight
to find my way to bed,
in my new surroundings
the darkness was my dread.
I couldn't see the switch
to turn on a nearby light,
I stumbled over boxes
and hoped for better sight.
Then my arm flung up
and I stopped another fall,
I accidently hit the switch
and lights glowed in the hall.
I heard a nearby sound
that gave me quite a scare,
among the mess I left
on the floor everywhere.
I complained of the dark
and the boxes in my way,
even other objects on the floor
that I forgot to put away.
May there be eyes that see
through the darkest night.
With every Merry christmas
a peace that shines so bright.
Let goodness be a guide
for people everywhere,
the voice of many angels
caroling in the frosty air.
Kindness is worth sharing
in the nice words that we say
let Christmas be a blessing
in each and every way.
