A New Christmas Glow : Childrens Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


It was dark and cold on Christmas Eve

and the North Pole was a busy place .

Oh bring us some peace on earth "

Said the big man there ,

with a smile on his face .

"Ready or not  hear I come "

he said ,

"For its almost Christmas time again ."

Then he put on his suit and laced up his boot

And called each reindeer by their name .

All of the reindeers came running but one ,

To the sleigh by Santa's front door ,

"Well I wonder where that reindeer could be ."

said Santa who could wait no more  .

A prayer was sent and then off he went ,

In search of that reindeer that was lost .

On a ground so white , a trail shone bright ,

of reindeers footsteps left in the frost .

 

 

 

He followed the light of a star that night

Where he glimpsed his missing reindeer ,

He called her by name again and again

But she pretended not to hear .

So the reindeer slipped  along a snowy path

ever closer to the edge  ,

of a glacier peak where she played hide and seek

jumping from ledge to ledge .

She looked south and north and then back and forth ,

Along  where her footsteps had been .

In a dug out snow cave , was a sight to save

of beauty no one had seen .

     Oh wat a surprise before his very eyes

Was the reindeers little fawn

On the glacier peak there so unique

Was a fawn with a nose that shone   .

 

 

 Santa knew then , that she had hidden from them

her  fawn with a nose so bright .

With a choice to make , for goodness  sake ,

Santa approached  ,silent in the night .

Then in the cave the reindeer had made ,

he said ,

"Oh what joy I've found  today .   

"How beautifully bred "

said the man dressed in red .

" Lets call her Rudolf . Ok?"

He found in the frost his reindeer that was lost ,

and he danced for joy at that .   

"Will you guide the way , tonight on my sleigh ,"

because Rudolf that's where it's at .    

In that moment  ,

there was something so rare

That made Rudolf's nose shone so bright .

They all walked back where Santa started to pack the toys in his sleigh  that night .
