The poem reflects on Christmas past and present, remembering the magic of Christmas from childhood. It wishes a Merry Christmas to Zachary and all, hoping the spirit of peace, brotherhood, and love that surrounded Jesus' birth also surrounds Zachary and fills his time.

1. The season is upon us now, a time for gifts and giving And as the year draws to its close I think about my living

2. The Christmas time when I was young, the magic and the wonder But colors dull and candles dim and dark my standing under

3. Oh, little angel, shining light, you've set my soul to dreaming You've given back my joy in life, You filled me with new meaning

6. A savior King was born that day, a baby just like you And as the Magi came with gifts, I come with my gift too

7. That peace on earth fills up your time that brotherhood surrounded you,

8. That you may know the warmth of love and wrap it all around you.

9. It's just a wish, a dream I'm told from days when I was young,

10. Merry Christmas little Zachary Merry Christmas everyone Merry Christmas little Zachary Merry Christmas everyone
