Originally: A Visit from St. Nicholas by Clement Clark Moore
A Visit from Mickey
'Twas the night before Disney, when all through the house,
everybody was happy, to meet Mickey Mouse;
The excitement and jitters buzzed through the room,
in hopes that the parks, they would visit so soon.
The children and parents could both hardly sleep;
While visions of princes and castles they keep.
The day finally came, it was time to explore,
we all just could not wait to get out of that door.
When we got through the gate, and ran down that big street,
I sprang with delight and jumped right onto my feet;
Away down the street to the castle I flew,
it rose to the sky, like a tree growing true.
The magic just seemed to fill the air all around,
as the land of great fairy tales there, was just crowned,
parades were filled with magic and joyful delight,
great happiness filled this big place day and night.
The Fireworks sparkled and lit up the night sky;
The magic and dreams there, made me want to cry.
The happiness here filled my heart with pure joy,
my spirit and feeling my heart did not destroy.
With Mickey, and Minnie, and Donald and pooh,
and Goofy, and Daisy, the whole Disney crew.
To the top of the castle! to the top of it all!
Tinker Bell flew out of the castle so tall!
As the people around us held there families tight,
I finally discovered that magic is right;
All the people who were there, both big and both small,
I started to realize the whole point of it all.
The magic and dreaming is not all just for fun,
it helps us dig deeper and all become one.
We all share a passion, we all share the love,
love is something that we all have a lot of.
We all have some magic, us, me, her and you,
and that is surely something I know to be true.
We all try to believe in the happy endings,
and at least while at Disney, it's fun pretending.
It teaches us that dreams, and miracles too,
can certainly, magically, completely come true!
It's a message that's been taught through decades and on,
a message that's taught and must never be gone.
Walt Disney's great dream was to keep his alive,
and he and many others made his dream thrive.
He started with seven small dwarves and a girl,
now there's a girl with ice does she whirl.
A mouse and a dream, and a big empty pocket,
his ideas took flight, just like a rocket.
His dreams came true, and his story is still living;
The gift that he gave us keeps constantly giving.
It gives people hope and a reason to dream;
It shows that things are not always as they seem.
His dream captured many through year in and year out,
and it showed us what magic is really about.
And to think this whole thing had a mouse to it's start,
and that that mouse would capture a million hearts.
Miracles happen, no matter who you are,
"Dreams can come true, if you wish upon on a star!”
