Saving My Santa

It's early morn on Xmas,
And *ALL* in "this" house,
Are lying safely in bed
Since Angel caught the mouse.
I found the laughter--
That had been missing so much--
In the memories of you,
And the lives that you touched.
But now "young" friend
I must put lay down to rest,
Knowing you're here always,
In EVERY beat of my chest.
