This poem is about, an actual Christmas parade.
A Christmas Parade
Twelve men dressed like toy soldiers;
Stand tightly in a row.
They're holding forth their trumpets;
To start the evening show.
People gather together;
For the festivity.
While children dress in costume;
For the nativity.
Christmas trees are all lit up;
Twinkling lights dance with song.
The violins are playing;
Harmony strings play along.
Five beautiful winter sleighs;
With all the bells ringing.
White horses for Christmas;
Joyful fun and singing.
And all for just ten dollars;
Romance, laughter, and smiles.
Husbands, and wives, and sweethearts;
Line up, nearly two miles.
The garlands, wreaths, and tinsel;
Decorate all the streets.
While the holiday vendors;
Sell hot cocoa and treats.
The soldiers all blow their horns;
The angels start to sing.
glittering across the stage;
With tinsel on their wings.
Mary cradles the Christ child;
While Joseph stands beside.
A little cow so shyly
Patters by and wants to hide.
There are hundreds of people;
A bright candlelight sea.
Quiet moments of prayer;
A Christ-filled Christmas Eve
Then way up the wide roadway;
The floats start to appear.
The carolers are singing;
Is that Santa I hear?
With a sleigh filled with goodies;
And Santa's Ho! Ho! Ho!
The children all look with glee.
At Santa's rosy glow.
Each of the marching bands plays;
With their horns and their drums.
The little drummer boy sings;
"Bur rum Pa Pa Pum" .
"Away in the Manger";
And then "Joy to the World".
Joyful Christmas Songs play;
To celebrate our Lord.
The last Christmas song is sung;
For the Christmas parade.
Then we all say our goodbyes.
All the instruments fade.
Memories with family;
And funds raised for the poor.
What a fantastic parade;
A blest Christmas for sure.
The children now lie sweetly;
at home tucked in their beds.
They are left with fond mem'ries;
And sweet songs in their heads.
Merry Christmas
