Bill's Magic Way, way up on the tallest mountain so high, Where the snowy tip tops reach to touch the sky There was a little sad home on the top of a hill And a little old man, who called himself Bill. Bill was lonely and had no animals to hug. He wished for a kitty or puppy to hold close, nice and snug Where would he find one?There was no pet store And poor lonely Bill was really quite poor. Each and every day when the sky turned from deep black Bill walked out of doors carrying a large deep blue sack Nobody saw him, nobody could know That he wandered and looked for a kitty under the snow. He dreamed he would find one to hold and to love; He dug under the cold snow flakes with one hand in a glove. The other was bare and often got icy cold like ice cream. He used to have a mitten, but it was no longer seen; Bill could have planted it in the garden last June He thought it would grow into a mitten tree under the moon. So Bill kept on looking, his one hand so very cold. He snooped and he sniffed looking for a kitty to hold. The days kept on passing and at night he was sad; He wanted a kitten to snuggle so very, very bad Or a puppy to play with, to hold and to walk. One to sit beside him and listen to Bill as he talked, Bill kept on looking, he couldn't have told you why. He knew that there is magic sometimes right under our eyes He looked and He wandered, He wandered and looked The snow fell around him, and from the cold he shook. At night he would wander home all lonely and sad. He wanted a kitty to love and he felt so darn bad. One night he was tired and was so all alone, He could barely move forward to his sad little home. As he drew closer, he smelled some thing sweet; His nose it did tickle at the scent of a treat. He knew he was dreaming because he lived all alone. The lights in his house were shining, but no one was home. Bill approached very slowly as things didn't look right There was a wreath on the door with a red ribbon so bright Lights shone all around in red, blue and green He shook his head in amazement and knew it was a dream He prayed he would not wake up as he opened the door And stared in surprise at the new mittens laid out on the floor Bill tippy toed in and stopped to look around at the room He smelled sugar cookies, ham and coconut macaroons The house was filled with music and presents under a tree Poor Bill was speechless at all he did see He laid down his sack and went to warm at the fire He rubbed his cold hands as his eyes slowly looked higher Sitting so quiet on a beam way up high Was a tiny little kitty who gave him the eye Bill was astounded and couldn't move to reach it The kitty came to him and on his shoulder it did sit It purred and it snuggled, it kissed him and rubbed Bill reached up to hold it and carefully gave it a hug Suddenly he heard a sharp little woof and a yelp He turned around and jumped and loudly yelled ... HELP! Bill fell to his knees and held his kitty with care As a puppy ran to him ~ it was black like a bear. Bill snuggled his family and named them some names Kitty Jumper and Black Bear made his days never the same He was never again lonely.He always had friends. And the magic that came that day never came to an end He had cookies and chocolate and music and toys He had so much he looked for little girls and little boys Bill wandered down his mountain with Black Bear close behind And he shared treats with all the children he could find Bill was once lonely and so sad and so poor But he learned if he shared love he would always have more. The magic moved on to help another sad home And Bill shared all that he had and was never alone. xoxoxo aziza |

Thank you for reading and enjoying this story about Bill. Your words have warmed my heart as his was warmed by the 'magic' that visited him. Rick, your words just made my day. As I read your poetry, I feel like I am finding a friend. It's a very special feeling to get from the wriring of another. Thank you, Lady and EA, I am loving it so much here because of people like you both. aziza |
