Rob slid his hand down her arm and laced his fingers through hers. “Now let’s go tell my dad the great news. I can’t think of anything that will do his heart more good.”
Silver Bells
City sidewalks, busy sidewalks,
Dressed in holiday style,
In the air there’s a feeling of Christmas.
Children laughing, people passing,
Meeting smile after smile,
And on every street corner you’ll hear
Silver bells, silver bells,
It’s Christmastime in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.
Strings of streetlights, even stoplights,
Blink a bright red and green
As the shoppers rush home with their treasures.
Hear the snow crunch, see the kids bunch;
This is Santa’s big scene,
And above all this bustle you’ll hear
Silver bells, silver bells,
It’s Christmastime in the city.
Ring-a-ling, hear them ring,
Soon it will be Christmas day.
About the Author
DEBORAH RANEY dreamed of writing a book since the summer she read Laura Ingalls Wilder's Little House books and discovered that a Kansas farm girl could, indeed, grow up to be a writer. After a happy twenty-year detour as a stay-at-home mom, Deb penned her first novel, A Vow to Cherish, which won a Silver Angel Award and inspired the acclaimed World Wide Pictures film of the same title. Since then, her books have won the RITA Award, HOLT Medallion, ACFW Carol Award, National Readers' Choice Award, as well as twice being finalists for the Christy Award. Deb teaches at writers' conferences across the country. She and her husband, Ken Raney, recently traded small-town life in Kansas ––the setting of many of Deb's novels––for life in the (relatively) big city of Wichita. They have four children and a growing brood of precious grandchildren who all live much too far away. Visit Deb on the Web at:
