Under the Blanket

A wonderful Christmas
lies poised, ready,
wrapped and bowed
labeled and marked
a pile of presents,
separate paper for each one
hidden from view
out from the car,
into the basement
away from prying eyes
nimble fingers
hard shakes, and
subtle peeks
Need to wait
for the wonder
Christmas ‘morn
