To: Colonial Warrior

Santa comes quietly long before dawn

While shops are still busy and lights are still on

While dinners are cooking and kitchens are warm

And children count presents they'll open by morn.

He slips past the trees in windows aglow

Through the gate to the backyard as icy winds blow

To find the pup he brought last year, chained up in the snow

A! nd, kneeling, he whispers "Are you ready to go?"

There are too many stops like this one tonight

Before the beginning of his regular flight

He leaves not a note or a footprint in sight

Just an unbuckled collar on a cold Christmas night...

My 2 Christmas pups have taken over the house, It's their world and they allow me to share it..

If they had chains,they would be gold with a diamond pendant.
