Christmas Past, Present and Future
There is a Santa Claus,
He does exist,
St Nicholas,
Known for his love and generosity,
Selling all his possessions
Secretly giving to the poor,
Leaving gifts in stockings
He brought that spirit into the world,
In his day! Once upon a time,
So astounding,
We remember year after year,
Today we retell his story,
Children waiting in anticipation,
Excitement and joy,
Santa magically rides
His sleigh through the night skies,
Loaded up with toys,
Pulled by the reindeer,
All the way from the Northpole,
Coming down chimnies,
People secretly buying presents,
Spreading that same love,
Celebrating his wonderful acts,
With this fantasy story,
So powerful people even stop fighting,
On this special Christmas day.
What does the future hold,
For St Nicholas,
Will his ghost keep on haunting,
Bringing Christmas cheer,
Will one man’s kindness,
Be known forever more,
Sure it will!
We’ve all had a visit,
Know him to be true,
Santa Claus,
Is coming,
His kindness to you.
