The Christmas Bauble

Seeing the sun gleaming right at me for the first time in a century
I can feel gratefulness and warmth being passed around me
I am the bringing of joy when I get strung up high in the branches of my father
But for those few days that I’m out in the sunlight I feel free and unstoppable
Like I can stop the earth moving and make the sunlight stay eternally
As the sun goes down, my ambience gets quieter and quieter
then I finally hear it the sleigh landing on the roof
I finally have the chance to get out of this house
Out of the rusty box that kept me out of my freedom
This is my time, this is my chance, this is my destiny
