Somewhere in the
this night and God
An angel sat upon a
While very hard
To return more to the earth He had assigned And a gift for all of man He was to leave
But this gift that he was to Could not be from the heavenly court And how could he something behind If nothing be brought
Now this was quite a And he knew not how to he suddenly felt a prayer from a child Reach deep his heart
And though his time was To this one of the year He not ignore this child's request So he decided he would start
For though night was Christmas Eve And dreams all about Somewhere down below on He had felt child begin to doubt
