Christmas Bow...

Christmas time was coming, and what had I to give?...
A heart that beats, just for you, as long as I shall live.
I tied a bow upon my head, and watched you laugh with glee...
And then we cuddled on the couch, and this you said to me.

Oh your such a silly man, but touch my heart so deep...
I had a dream, you were Santa Clause, and you were just too sweet.
You kissed me while I pretended sleep, and softly crept away...
And I knew that when the morning came, somehow you'd look this way.

A heart like yours I once wished for, one Christmas long ago...
Someone to keep me warm at night, when skies begin to snow.
Here you are, and you're a sight!, you make me feel so good...
I love you now, and forever more, and longer if I could.

So save the bow, and I will know, when I look at it each year...
That this is what I wished for once, and now your really here.
We'll put it on the mantel piece, so all who come can see...
That this was simply the sweetest gift, you ever gave to me.

Ron Walker November 1998
