I heard a noise-
Could it be the little girls and the little boys?
.
I knew that they had to be asleep-
I checked on them, there was not a peep.
.
I heard the noise again-
It reminded me of a noise, I had heard way
back when.
.
When I was a child, that same noise had come
into my head-
Probably Santa and his reindeer is what I had
said.
.
Of course, I quickly shut my eyes-
Did not look, did not want to give Santa a surprise.
.
So manybe as an adult, I can do the same-
To ignore that noise, and figure that Santa came.
.
Even though we tend to grow old-
The enlightenment, of children can still unfold.
.
As I closed my eyes, I knew that my dreams could
still come true-
Santa I’m going to sleep and you can do what it
is that you need to do.
.
I heard a noise-
Could it be the little girls and the little boys?

Tags: Change, Chilly, Dreams, Mary Elizabeth Rumsey, MEinRhyme, Modern Mother Goose-On the Loose, Poetry, Sweater, Unprepared, Weather
I left my sweater at home-
Before I headed out, for my city roam.
.
Everything was okay, until the temp
began to drop-
With quite a chill, that I could not stop.
.
First the goosebumps came-
And, then the comfortable was not the same.
.
The wind began to pick up, and I began to shake-
A little sleepy before I left, but now I was wide awake.
.
Dreams, of those sweaters, that I had left behind-
In reality, there were none, in my reach, to find.
.
Never again would I leave the house, without my
sweater, to keep me warm-
To keep me comfortable, to keep me from harm.
.
I left my sweater at home-
Before I headed out, for my city roam.
