Christmas Greetings

Christmas Greeting

 

Standing on a podium in the middle of small-town America

Next to the mayor as they count down the lighting of the tree

Three, two. one and the lights ascend upward toward heaven

Looking longingly into the face of an old friend her eyes sparkling

 

Next to the mayor as they countdown the lighting of the tree

A small child takes your hand because you are dressed as Santa

Looking longingly into the face of an old friend her eyes sparkling

The fundraiser has saved the local town from certain disaster

 

A small child takes you hand because you are dressed as Santa

There are candy canes ginger bread cookies and hot chocolate

The fundraiser has saved the local town from certain disaster

You tell her that somehow, she has been able to save you

 

There are candy canes ginger bread cookies and hot chocolate

She says she has waited a long time to tell you she loves you

You tell her that somehow, she has managed to save you

the rest of the world is frozen in time you kiss in slow motion

 

She says she waited a long time to tell you she loves you

The rest of the world is frozen in time as you kiss in slow motion

You discover you are in the endless loop of a Hallmark movie

Standing on a podium in the middle of small-town America
