My Dog and Me

Every Christmas we'd wait inside, 

with cookies and milk, 

together we'd hide.

By the tree, or on the stairs. 

Wishing Santa would answer our prayers.

 

We waited all night for Santa to appear

Just like in the books and the stories we'd hear.

Everytime we heard a clank or a clink

Together we thought is it ol' Saint Nick?

 

The years went by and he never came

But I always thought just the same

That one day Ol' Saint Nick would appear

and bring me back some holiday cheer

 

Now my big dog and me still wait by the tree

In hopes that Saint Nick didn't forget me.

Because I believe that one day I'll see

Santa Claus putting gifts under my Christmas tree.
