Gingerbread Hills
Wendolynn Jane Landers
I was skipping with my Teddy Bear circling our Christmas Tree when my brother raced through the room
He looked funny in his tux that Mom bought for the concert where I learned the song I danced to
Running outside with his sled he said, “Sorry, you’re too little to play outside today.”
So I tiptoed to the window and watched the big kids go sledding
I was skipping with my Teddy Bear circling our Christmas Tree when my brother raced through the room
He looked funny in his tux that Mom bought for the concert where I learned the song I danced to
Running outside with his sled he said, “Sorry, you’re too little to play outside today.”
So I tiptoed to the window and watched the big kids go sledding downhill all day
Since I was too little to go play…
My teddy bear went sledding along our windowsill weaving through candy canes with gingerbread hills
My teddy bear went sledding along our windowsill keeping time with the kids outside sledding down the hill
Store bought snow formed a path Along our windowsill Weaving through candy canes with gingerbread hills
Yelling cued the neighbor kids to run through the street shouting carrying sleds and gear
Kids threw Snowballs Saved in the freezer waiting for almost a year
The neighbors heard kids yelling and figured the local school won but wondered how they’d missed the game
They watched the kids laughing while sledding then went back to putting presents away
Since I was too little to go play…
My teddy bear went sledding along our windowsill weaving through candy canes with gingerbread hills
My teddy bear went sledding along our windowsill keeping time with the kids outside rolling down the hill
Store bought snow formed a path along our windowsill weaving through candy canes with gingerbread hills
