Christmas Day
Christmas day appear,
a bright youthful soul,
receive every toy I yearn for,
you occur in my soul,
while I shred each present apart,
a resentful patient moment
Expected thee to call
“I waited, and waited!”
the phone rings somebody else
Played with my toys near hopelessness
other kids celebrating with their pops
view in the distance, tear spill
Dusk approach
standing on the doorstep
telephone rings
mom yell telephone!
my heart skip a rhythm
tears from happiness
flow down my face
a greeting from daddy
emotions converted to bliss
