Goldie Christmas.

HO! HO! HO!

There I was in my red robe,

White hair,

White beard,

Bringing smiles on the children’s faces

As I walked in the room

With a big sack over my shoulder,

The youngsters all cheered.

I sat before them,

Delved into my bag,

Found the first present,

Called out the name

And a little girl came towards me,

She was very shy,

But took the present.

I called each name

And the youngsters came to me.

Some came on their own,

Some with their mum,

Some were so shy

As I wished them Merry Christmas,

One was in tears,

But most smiled at me

And said “Thank you Santa.”

All the presents had gone,

The sack was empty,

And as we sat there,

Smiles on all their faces,

They sang to me,

Sang “Jingle Bells”

Then “The wheels on the bus”

Laughter all over their face.

 

As I looked at them

The joy of life was within me,

The beauty and innocence

Of young children shone everywhere;

If only it could stay this way.
