A
Christmas Scene
A
lone star twinkles way up high
and
the little city seems to sigh.
Softly
swirling Christmas snow
covers
the darkened streets below.
Roof
tops crowned in cotton lumps
almost
concealing their chimney stumps.
People
bundled against a chill
make
their way home on Evergreen Hill.
Windows
full of colored lights
catch
the eye to their delight
The
city shimmers in a silver glow
all
prepared for a Christmas show.
