"SOUNDS OF CHRISTMAS by Del 'Abe' Jones
There's music of the holidays
Playing on the radio -
There's Christmas decorations
Almost everywhere you go.
The Salvation Army bells
Ring out for the poor -
The 'Ho,ho.' of Santa Claus
In the department stores.
Carolers sing Christmas songs -
Going, house to house -
Tales about, where no one stirs
Not even, a mouse.
Hoofbeats in fresh fallen snow
Pulling, an open sleigh -
Children asking Mom and Dad
'Is Santa on his way?'
Cracklin' from the fireplace -
Roasting chestnuts 'neath the coals -
The soft murmur of prayers
Said, for the lost souls.
Friends and family gather
To toast, Christmas cheer -
There's sounds of angels singing
(If, you really want to hear.
The sounds of Christmas, fill the air
As we celebrate His birth -
Wishing joy, to all mankind
And peace to all on earth."
