Christmas Eve

Christmas Eve Dream

I dream of
Rings, earrings and pendants.
Saphire pairs in cuts,
Of oval, round and pear.
In colours pink and blue,
From distant lands,
Of Kashmir and Ceylon.

I dream of
Rings, earrings and pendants.
Emerald pairs in cuts,
Of oval, round and pear.
In colours of beautiful green,
From distant lands,
Of Colombia and Brazil.

I dream of
Rings, earrings and pendants.

Ring, ring, ring!
I am awake.
It is Christmas day.
To the tree I go.
There a box for me.
A tumbler blue.

Then to
Rings, earrings and pendants.

I can dream, can’t I?
