Santa comes but once a year...for most |

Two boys awoke on christmas morn' One with a smile, the other tears. Ever since they had been born, Santa had come but once a year. But things were not the same this time, clouds had hid the rising sun, Santa struggled to find a dime, and brought christmas to only one. The shame of it that such a day, Got lossed somewhere in years gone bye. When children that should be at play, Our torn apart and for a lie? The notion finds me in despair, On days of our lords celebration, Santa comes, yet still unfair to children poor around the nation. I do my part, I play the role. I understand that life is tough. Still as the passing days take toll I wonder if its all enough? My challenge is not in poetry, but in life, I hope that we all can find the time and money to make a donation, no matter how small to the local toys for tots, or similar programs in your area, It feels good, trust me =) |

Yes, it does, Kevin. Even a small act on our parts can mean so much to those in need. I join with you in your challenge. ------------------ To the world you might be just one person but to one person you might just be the world. |
