Under The Laureate’s Tree

Are there presents for me, under the tree?
Yes, under the Laureate’s tree.
Are there Christmas delights, stars, pretty lights?
Yes, under the Laureate’s tree.
Is there something for you, Sis, Brother too.
Yes, under the Laureate’s tree.
You’ll find a kind word, your dreams once unheard,
under the Laureate’s tree.

And as long as you can close your eyes and imagine
the Laureate’s tree will never come down.
Merry Christmas
