Christmas, Come On! Poem by Ramona Thompson

A holiday rewrite of Celine Dion's My Heart Will Go On



Every night in my sugarplum dreams

I see it

I crave it

This is why I shout

Christmas!

Come on!



Too far from now I feel the distance

Where are the presents promised us?

Santa, won't you please hurry and come on? !



Chorus



Near?

Not enough!

Far?

Way too!

I really, really wish Christmas would hurry and come on

Why once once a year does Santa come to my door?

Been so good this year

Pure of soul and heart

Oh Christmas won't you come on

Hurry and come on



This holiday

I adore everytime

Wish so bad

It came more than once a year

In my lifetime

Cause I swear

If it did

I'd hold on and I'd never let go



Love, oh Christmas, how I do love you

One truth boldly I hold onto

Into my life won't you hurry and come on



Chorus



Its here!

Oh what joy!

All the holiday cheer!

And I know Christmas in my heart

And in my memory

Will always live on and on

If only it could stay forever this way

Holiday forever in my heart

Yes, Christmas lives on and on!
