On a
cold winters night
With
green glistening white
Dreams
awake in their heads
Of a
man on his sled
Dark
shadows in the night
Moving
swiftly out of sight
Quick
footsteps in the halls
Light
as a snowflake falls
Silent
whispers in the night
Warm
wishes wrapped up tight
The
secrets that they keep
Come
alive whilst they sleep
In
the quiet of the night
Before
the sun shines bright
Pause
before the dawn rises
As
they dream of surprises
On a
cold winters morn
As
the wrapping is torn
Childlike
eyes light with glee
Underneath
the sparkling tree
At
the breaking of dawn
They
know their job is done
And
they smile to themselves
Once
again becoming elves
When
this day is complete
No
more secrets they will keep
No
more presents they will hide
Return
to normal with great pride
