SANTA LOST HIS WAY

Eight reindeer on the right track.
Why couldn't Santa deliver his pack?
Usually careful, the deer did stray.
That's how Santa lost his way.

The reindeer were distracted by a heavenly glow;
the falling masses of icy sleet and snow.
Santa was worried the gifts would fail to be delivered,
the brisk air so cold that even he shivered.

He knew he could not disappoint the children;
that the deer must follow the right path again.
Determined there would not be tears Christmas day,
Santa urged the reindeer to head the right way.

He laughed with joy when they followed his command,
and on thousands of rooftops they finally did land.
The weather cleared on this special day,
and jolly Saint Nicholas found his way.

Merry Christmas to all, he did shout,
as he and the deer made their way out.
Joyful that they had reached their goal,
they headed back to the North Pole.
