The Beauty of Christmas Eve
by Laurie Kolp
Pitter-pat, pitter-pat
The rush of prancing steps
Resounds through the house
As giddy children dressed for bed
Prepare for Santa Claus
A splay of homemade sugar cookies
Mouth-watering sand tarts
Placed lovingly before the fireplace
Outside, snow-covered evergreens
Decorate winter’s mural
Wet pine aroma amid burning cedar
Drifts through the frigid night air
Red splashes in white
A male and female cardinal
Sit majestically and wait
Their heads turned, eyes fixed
Upon the beauty of Christmas Eve
