‘Tis NOT Christmas morning,
But it is for the cats,
Who are frolicking
Rollicking all over the floor,
Around the tree they just knocked over.
‘Tis NOT Christmas morning,
But it is at the diner
Where a struggling waitress
Gets a $100 tip!
‘Tis NOT Christmas morning,
But it is at Walmart
Where a stranger has paid
For Grandma’s lay-away gifts.
‘Tis NOT Christmas morning,
But it is on the square
Where a poster for justice
Has been lit with twinkling lights.
‘Tis NOT Christmas morning,
But it might as well be,
Because I feel like love,
I rejoice like shepherds
Keeping watch in their fields.
