It is likely that the train running ‘round the tree
will come back again
As it disappears into a mountain of brightly colored paper,
Through the woods of toys and ribbons.
O’er the river of sugar water dripping from the tree stand.
All under the bright red, green, and yellow suns blinking
on and off...
It is likely that Christmas will come ‘round again.
Perhaps we can re-wrap things and pass them out next year.
It is likely that Christmas will come ‘round again...
I hope so, but for now ----
I’ll hold my breath ‘till the train comes ‘round again.
After all the initial Christmas ruckus it is
comforting and peaceful to nurse a cup of coffee
and sit and watch the tree.
Even the din in the other room is comforting as
you wait for the train to come ‘round again.
Christmas Present
