‘Twas all in starry night, Papa
When giggles ripped through the air,
Yes, ‘twas that nighty night, Papa
When hymns made the day of night,
When all meant and spelt serenity and sincerity
Yes ‘twas all in that starry night when the talks began
Do you remember Daddy
Do you remember the oft-repeated words of the angels…the little baby?
DO you recall?
The viral smiles which spelled the mood
Veiling that dreary night,
Do you recall Daddy,
When aahs mingled the cheers of the night?
When all dazzled with the mood?
No gloom bloomed the night,
Daddy, do you remember?
“twas only cheers overwhelming the jeers,
Do you remember Daddy?
You said that all meant Christmas,
Daddy do you remember,
That was long, long ago,
When I was a little tightly wrapped bundle in your arms….
Daddy do you remember,
When vicar broke the veil with soothing words
Do you recall the rich words which echoed the church?
The cheers…
The handshakes
The infectious smiles
Daddy, all was beautiful
Daddy, that was decades ago,
When all your gain was to strain and strengthen my belief
When I knew naught of the Virgin Mary,
When all you wanted me to know was Little Baby Jesus.
