Solitary silence he seeks
Away from the celebration of him
Kerfuffle and commotion
He does not covet
He retreats to the tree’s shady veil
Respite and relief silently welcomed
Detached and almost concealed
The wooden pony his dependable friend
Dappled light playfully dancing
Seclusion does not disappoint
Sanctuary, Shelter
Stay safe, oh beautiful child

Solitary silence he seeks
Away from the celebration of him
Kerfuffle and commotion
He does not covet
He retreats to the tree’s shady veil
Respite and relief silently welcomed
Detached and almost concealed
The wooden pony his dependable friend
Dappled light playfully dancing
Seclusion does not disappoint
Sanctuary, Shelter
Stay safe, oh beautiful child
