the bells on the mantle

the bells
will ring
their
everlasting
song, they will sing with joy
as they know they will be heard
and enjoyed. the bells will shake back
and forth, quaking with there powerful hits.
DING-DONG, the powerful strike is heard
again, on the mantle, over the fireplace. it
is time. the bells signal the day we’ve all
waited for, christmas is finally here. the bells
watch over the other decorations. resting at the
highest point, soaking in the view. they are like an
empty tower, looking over a town. at last, they watch
the red suited man climb down the chimney, drinking his
milk and cookies and delivery the happiness. the bells will
watch as the man struggles to keep quiet, trying not to wake
up the children. the stocking slowly getting waited by all the weight
of all the condy and small gifts. the bells our sad when the man leaves
but
they know he
will come
back
