My Christmas Ham

My Christmas Ham

Well, all the Christmas songs
All the children sweet and kind
Some stand on the stage
Others to the side with a son of mine

I watched the kids on stage
Then turned to the side
I watched my son smile
I just looked at him with pride

When eyes were straight ahead
He would scamper to my chair
He would give me a kiss
I know that he will always care

I love the others
They touched every heart
But like all mothers
The best just sang his part

Now I am writing this
I don’t know if you will like it
But I do know that a sleeping
Child gave me the best gift

What is the gift that I love so great
Is the goofy wiggle, and sweet smile
And acting just for me is a special trait
Now he sleeps, then I will dream through out the day

So when the turkey is cooked
The cakes are cut looking good
I can see my son as he looked
They way he looked there where he stood
