Poem Title:
Poem
I looked into a window and what did I see Bags of presents underneath a Christmas tree. A boy unwrapping presents and jumping with joy As he played with all his toys. Mom and dad sitting down-with gift wrap paper all around. Now! Grandpa and grandma will be here soon Bringing more presents to fill the room. I’m standing outside with my clothes torn and tattered The wind and snow blowing- I feel worn out and battered. My parents had told me that they care, but with me They had nothing to share. As I turn to walk away I hear a voice say: come on in and stay We have more than enough on this day. Mom and dad saw you standing there, and we have enough Dinner that we can share. We are about the same height – I have some clothing that will fit just right. I even have some extra shoes and a coat that I no longer wear You can have them, mom and dad don’t care. I washed up and put on my new shoes and clothes and sat down to eat “Man oh man” what a treat, and after I ate I started to rise “Oh my God” what a surprise. There’s two shopping bags at the door, one with food and so much more. I don’t know what to say! For you have blessed me on this Christmas day. I don’t even know your names! This is my mother Martha and my father Nick, and I am Nick junior! The tears started rolling down my eyes, my hopes had risen, and I felt alive. I picked up the bags and I thanked them once more as I walked out the door. As I was walking away they was waving me good-bye when something Caught the corner of my eye- there was nothing there but an empty lot! THEN WHO GAVE ME THOSE PRESENTS THAT I GOT? © L.RAMS 120114
