The Christmas Elves

Christmas is their time of year
They know when it’s drawing near
Whispering among themselves
Busy little joyful elves
Stealing glances at the toys
wishing they were girls and boys

Playing in the snow that falls
They become snowy little balls
of ice and cold against their noses.
With sparkling eyes and purple toes
A special love that comes from innocence.
Wondering where it was that ours went?

Gathering around the wintry fires they sing,
Throughout the year let joy ring
Giving testimony to the truth, that they know
the secrets wrapped within Christmas snow
Little bundles of pink and blue
full of life bran new


Christmas elves awaiting their pleasures
ready to tear open their treasures
giving us back the sparkle of living
reminding us of the joy of giving
For what better reason to have Christmas this year,
if not for the elves that live here.
