My Christmas Poem

One cold winter night, I laid asleep in my bed.
Thoughts of the Christmas cheer, flowed through my head.
I then was awoken from my sleep by a gentle little glow.
Curiously I went to find out what the light was, i just had to know.

Down the stairs I ran and ran, and there by the Christmas Tree.
A gift I saw all by itself, it was labelled just for me.
The box was wrapped in that very same glow that awoke me from my dreams
What was inside the present you might be wondering? Well the answer's not what you might seem.

Looking around my living room, not a person or sight to be found.
Someone left this gift for me, they did it without making a sound.
Thoughts then came to my mind, should i open this strange gift?
Eventually i gave right in, as i unwrapped the tied up lid.

The lid was taken off very quick. My heart began to race.
Unwrapping the paper off the box at a very quick pace.
And there inside this mighty box was just a simple door.
No knocker, no number, no special features. Just made of wood...nothing more.

Was this some kind of magic trick? Did someone lose their mind?
But as i continued to ponder this, the door then opened wide.
My mouth opened wide in awe, as I watched this very sight.
Within the door, it was there i saw, nothing but a pure white light.

As the light faded away, my sight returned to me.
It was there on the other side of the door, another world...i could see.
But it wasn't the world that caught my gaze, of that i can say for sure.
It was just one simple thing, I saw someone. I saw special figure.

She stood with there flowing brown hair, that blew with the very breeze.
Her eyes shined like blue sapphires, her gaze could piece steel with ease.
It was then she put out her hand to me, reaching out towards my face.
I could tell just by this simple act, she wanted me there in her place.

Slowly, i moved my hand to do the same thing to this beautiful girl.
For my heart began to race so fast, it sent into a whirl.
As our hands touched each other's face, we seemed to understand.
That during the festive season there, we should be here, hand in hand.

We stared for what seemed like an eternity, our actions said everything.
To me, this girl was my queen, and to her, i was her king.
Suddenly a certain sound played within my very ear.
The sound of my alarm played, just as i had feared.

I found myself back in bed, my alarm yelled and yelled,
I smashed it hard with my fist, no longer it yelled and yelled.
I could hear my younger brother downstaires unwrapping his gift.
So from my bed i slumped myself up, as my body began to lift.

I joined my family by the tree, the faces had a brimming smile.
Getting gifts to help them all the day to make the day more the while.
Although i was happy getting presents, my mind played back to the dream.
The one gift i wanted the most was her, from my dream.

Just then i saw one more gift, behind the christmas Tree.
Pulling it out I saw it had a label reading it was for me.
I unwrapped it secretly, and my eyes did begin to go wide.
This gift was from that special girl, my tears i could no longer hide.

A gentle smile appeared on my face, you really want to know why?
Because that girl wasn't a dream. This very present made me cry.
The gift was just a keychain, but the words on it rang true.
It had just simply 3 little words on it, they said "I love you"

It didn't matter about the size of this gift, its more the meaning that was said.
The thoughts of being with this girl forever, played through my head.
Suddenly a knock on the door was heard, with just a simple knock
I got up to open the door, and unattached from the lock.

And there, like the dream before, a figure stood in the way.
With Flowing brown hair and sapphire blue eyes, had come to make my day.

Is this a dream? I thought to myself. Or is this reality?
But then she opened up her arms, and coaxed just for me.
We held each other tightly, and kissed each other deep.
This was a moment i'd remember forever, a memory I will keep.

So to all of you out there, hearing this story from me.
Whilst you enjoying your turkey dinner and playing the Nintendo Wii
Pay more attention to what's around you, for that you must clearly see.
The greatest gift this time of year, is being with your friends, you love and family.
