Analysis of Christmas Eyes



Christmas eyes of children wish
For toys and much, much more;
The things of magic Santa brings
Just like the year before.

Christmas eyes of young adults;
The ones with kids and wife,
Wish that their family will enjoy
The Christmas part of life.

Christmas eyes of seniors wish
To see the Christmas eyes
Of family, friends and others too;
The magic of surprise!
