Charlie does the moonwalk
While Lester checks the gifts
Bartholomew is wondering
What’s in the box he lifts
Seems Charlie doesn’t care much
About the presents left to wrap
He’d much rather dance around
Donned, in his stocking cap
Bart leans on his buddy
For a moment, does he pause
Where did Lester get the box?
Did he steal from Santa Claus?
It seems a shame to tattle
So he makes a deal with Les
“Give me the box, I’ll be quiet
So you won’t have to confess.”
Lester takes a moment
Then decides to take the chance
Grabs hold of Charlie’s pompom
And follows in the dance
Bart can see he’s defeated
Might as well join in the fun
Best to keep his secret
And now my tale is done

A quiet moment, alone on a swing
Hoping my heart can remember to sing
Floating on air, in the bright morning light
Knowing full well, I must keep up the fight
To conquer this monster, restless in me
I can no longer take all of life’s sympathy
For those who don’t know, it feels like you’ve died
From all of those emotions you’ve kept deep inside
I look not for pity, from eyes as they glare
But hope one day, I am not ashamed to share
The burdens I lay at my very own feet
Trying so hard, to fight this defeat
I’ve locked it away, yet it’s close to my heart
The sadness I feel, like I’m falling apart
Not knowing which way I can turn and still care
Falling deeper and deeper into empty despair
Til the chirp of a bird sings its own happy song
And in that very moment, my heart sings along
Rejoicing, he sings, such a sweet melody
His reminder, that happiness is waiting for me

A sprite among the forest bloom
Standing in her floral room
Waits with wonder, smiling bright
As fairies gather round in flight
Whispering secrets, as they dance
Round her head, they catch her glance
Yet, nary a single word is heard
When fantasies again are stirred

A single petal, missing
From the slim stem down below
No longer made her shapely
But she still continued to grow
A star within her center
Told her story, plain and true
She was perfectly imperfect
Twas with beauty that she grew
