Anxiously I wait to see my old friend;
finally a year has come to an end.
By the chimney I lay, curled up in Doc’s chair;
my present for Santa wrapped up with great care
But while I am waiting
I drift off to sleep;
Dreaming of dog bones
and other good treats
When all of a sudden I hear a big clatter,
that wakes me from slumber to see what’s the matter
I open my eyes to see the old elf
and my tail starts to wag in spite of myself
He leans down and pats me on top of my head
and asks me why I’m not asleep in my bed
“I was waiting for you Santa, I’ve waited all year,
I’m happy to see you and all the reindeer”.
“I’ve been a good dog,
as good as can be;
So you would be proud
and visit with me.”
That is when Santa
sits down in the chair,
hugging me close,
then speaks with great care.
“I love you dear Grover,
you’re such a good boy;
You help lots of humans,
and bring them great joy.”
“You’re the spirit of Christmas
all through the year,
you love unconditionally
without any fear.”
Then Santa kisses me
on top of the nose;
turns very swiftly
and up the chimney he goes.
But I hear him exclaim,
as his sleigh leaves my sight;
Merry Christmas sweet Grover
and a restful good night!
