The Magic Snowflake (Carol)

One Christmas Eve,

would you believe,

a magic snowflake fell.

It tumbled down

onto the ground

and worked a magic spell.

A beggar boy

who had no toys

and no bed but the street.

Sat shivering,

when, shimmering,

it landed at his feet.

Out of thin air,

there then appeared

a fairy dressed in white.

“I’ll grant you three

wishes”, said she,

“upon this Christmas night”.

The little boy

then beamed with joy

and said, “I have but one”.

“A family

who’ll care for me

and love me as a son”.

Now, hearing this,

the fairy kissed

the boy upon his head.

And, suddenly,

he found that he

was tucked up warm in bed.

A mother and

a father, hand

in hand, stood by his side.

“Oh what a very,

merry, merry

Christmas”, the boy cried.
