Oh, what doth the wintry snowdrift bring?
Two puppies snug in a box of red and green
In an old rusty children's wagon of blue
Are gifts to greet this Christmas anew
The young pups gaze out over the snow
Toward the house where the windows glow
For there within, a girl and a boy
Await a promised gift of loving joy
Their treasure is adorned with a big red bow
The same used one Christmas, a long time ago
When loving parents to their children gave
Two rescued puppies, whose lives they had saved
Gifts such as these, gifts of life and of love
Are like those given to us, from the Creator above
On that first Christmas was born in the night
A gift given - a child who would show us the light
What treasure will await you, on Christmas day?
What gift from God to you, in the snow doth lay?
