Madness overtakes us each year Earthbound children dream of Santa Riding across the starry night Right to their house, a present Yielding, Rudolph-guided sleigh. Calorie-rich cookies and cakes Harbinger of hurtful tummies Radiant, expectant children's faces Imaginative, unspoiled by truth that Santa really is dear Uncle Fred Tanked on too much spiked eggnog and Merry songs and mountains of food And watching Tiny Tim one more time Santa is a wonderful apparition. To all eager children the world Over Santa sends his love to you. All is calm, all is at peace Loving mom, excited children Learns dad is home from the war. ©December 17, 2017 / Jerry Pat Bolton ~ If they give you ruled paper, write sideways. ~ |

How sweet Jerry! And how sobering about Dad being home from the war. Say 'the war' to me and I think WWII. It is easy to forget we have had men in uniform in harms way all over the world since then without 'the war'. Make no mistake, our men are coming back from war everyday and I think it is wonderful you remembered them in this poem. Have a very Merry Christmas Jerry~L |
