Gingerbread...

Gingerbread House for a Mouse

Christmas is the most magical time of the year. Tonight is Christmas and this poem is my present to kids who always dream and whisper upon the star. And new beginning starts under the Christmas sky.

———-

A little mouse dreamt of  a house –

a house built all from cheese.

So she could have sweet little bites

during the nights with a winter chill.

She was waiting and waiting,

but it didn’t happen.

So the mouse decided

to wait for a gingerbread one

during this Christmas time. 

For a very good reason

in this cheerful season,

every wish can come true.

And the little mouse whispered

upon the bright Christmas star.

In the morning she run out

of her hole in the wall

and what a surprise!

There was a gingerbread house

and a star blinking above.
