Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: A SOLDIER'S CHRISTMAS? 'Twas the night before Christmas, he lived all alone, in a one bedroom house made of plaster and stone!. ? I had come down the chimney with presents to give, and to see just who in this little house lived!. ? As I looked all about, a strange sight I did see, No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree!. ? No Stockings by mantle, just boots filled with sand, On the wall hung pictures of far distant lands!. ? With medals and badges, awards of all kinds, A sobering thought came through my mind!. ? For this house was different, it was dark and dreary, ?The home of a soldier, I could now see clearly!. ? The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone, Curled up on the floor in this one bedroom home!. ? The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder, Not how I picture a United States Soldier!. ? Was this the hero of whom I'd just read!? Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed!? ? I realized the families that I saw this night, owed their lives to these soldiers who were willing to fight!. ? Soon round the world, the children would play, and grownups would celebrate a bright Christmas day!. They all enjoyed freedom each month of the year, because of the soldiers, like the one lying here!. I couldn't help wondering how many lay alone, on a cold Christmas Eve in a land far from home!. The very thought brought a tear to my eye, I dropped to one knee and started to cry!. The soldier awakened and I heard a rough voice, "Santa don't cry, for this life is my choice"!. I fight for freedom, I don't ask for more, My life is my God, my country, my corps!." The soldier rolled over and drifted to sleep, I couldn't control it, I continued to weep!. I kept watch for hours, so silent and still, as we both shivered from the cold night's chill!. I didn't want to leave, on that cold, dark night, this guardian of honor, so willing to fight!. Then the soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure, whispered, "Carry on Santa!.!.!.!., It's Christmas Day!.!.!.!., All is secure!. One look at my watch, and I knew he was right, Merry Christmas my friend!.!.!.!. and to all a Good Night!. ~ Author Unknown *~ Www@QuestionHome@Com When we had to recite poems in english I did "Jabberwocky" written by Lewis Carroll!.
