Poem
A Holiday Poem Mom and I went shopping at the mall When we got there I saw a tree standing so tall. I couldn’t believe all the decorations and lights Decorations and lights that were oh so bright. A few presents were under the tree And I saw a small girl sitting on Santa’s knee. She was telling Santa all of her wishes A toy kitchen and maybe some play dishes. As we walked on by I started to think Does every child get to see Santa’s magical wink? Are there any other holidays this time of year Or is it just Christmas that brings families near? Christmas isn’t just about a plump man with rosy, red cheeks And gifts under a tree that might say don’t peek. This day is to honor a baby boy born A baby that is so loved and very adorned Mom tried to explain different traditions this way. You see Chanukah, a Jewish holiday lasts for seven days A gift is given to each person each day of the week The Star of David shines brightly for all who seek. Kawanzaa an African-American holiday is one more Celebrating a heritage with clothing that’s colorful and so much to adore A holiday that brings awareness to all No matter our color we should all stand tall Don’t forget those who are homeless this night They cling on to each other ever so tight They might not have a tree with all the lights When they look in the sky, stars are twinkling so very bright Some might not have gifts to give to each other But think of the love given to your parents, sister and brother So much is happening during this season No matter the day you don’t need a reason. Enjoy all that you have, be it big or small And Happy Holidays to one and all!!! By Barbara Poor
