I love this one!

T'was the night before Christmas, o He lived all alone, o In a one bedroom house, made of plaster and stone. o I had come down the chimney, with presents to give, o And to see just who, in this home, did live. * I looked all about, a strange sight I did see, o No tinsel, no presents, not even a tree. o No stocking by mantle, just boots filled with sand, o On the wall hung some pictures of far distant lands. o With medals and badges, awards of all kinds, * A sober thought, came through my mind. o For this house was different, it was dark and dreary, o I found the home of a soldier, once I could see clearly. o The soldier lay sleeping, silent, alone, o Curled up on the floor, in this one bedroom home. * The face was so gentle, the room in such disorder, o Not how I had pictured an American soldier. o Was this the hero, of whom I'd just read? o Curled up on a poncho, the floor for a bed? o I realized the families, that I saw this night, * Owed their lives to these soldiers, o Who were willing to fight. o Soon round the world, the children would play, o And grownups would celebrate, a bright Christmas day. o They all enjoyed freedom, each month of the year, * Because of the soldiers, like the one lying here. o I couldn't help wonder, how many lay alone, o In a cold Christmas eve, in a land far from home. o The very thought brought, a tear to my eye, o I dropped to my knees, and started to cry. * The soldier awakened, and i heard a rough voice, o "Santa don't cry, this life is my choice; o I fight for freedom, i don't ask for more, o My life is my god, my country, my corps." o The soldier rolled over, and drifted to sleep, * I couldn't control it, i continued to weep. o I kept watch for hours, so silent and still, o And we both shivered, from the cold night's chill. o I didn't want to leave, on that cold, dark, night, o This guardian of honour, so willing to fight. * When the soldier rolled over, with a voice soft and pure, o Whispered, "Carry on Santa, it's Christmas Day & all is secure." o One look at my watch, and I knew he was right. o Merry Christmas my friend, and to all a good night.
