Poem Title:
Poem
In this dark and dangerous time That we live in We seldom hear tales Of inspiration, hope and love Yet when we do hear such tales It fills us with wonder And hope that some how We can do better Life can be better Love can conquer hate And decency can prevail Over the dark forces all around us In Kingman, Arizona An old blind homeless man appeared Out of nowhere he showed up And started walking about He was polite, friendly and not scary Did not want anything from any one And somehow he conquered the town Who adopted him They called him Santa James Because he wore a red Santa cape And he was just so filled with good will Laughter, advice and stories Boy did he spin good stories Poetic allusions And just radiated goodness Everyone fell in love with Santa James He was given a job Playing piano Given a room to stay in Spoke at the local schools And churches And to any one who stopped him He remembered everyone’s name And life story Even though he was blind He could see the good in everyone And that is the moral of the tale of mine There is goodness all around us If only we open our hearts To accept it We have the power To reject hate To reject division And accept love If only Santa James spirit Could spread across this country We could heal our wounds And become united again That is my prayer Perhaps Santa James Is really a saint The real thing Who knows All we know Is that Santa James Came to town And the rest Is the history We will make of it Long Live Santa James
