Poem
December came with Christmas beckoning at the door He saw every house bright with many a lamp And the whole streets illumined with colorful lights and star But his tiny hut looked dismal n’ dark like a prison camp One evening, on a leisurely walk from school The boy saw a man selling colorful balloons With the little penny tucked safely in his jacket of wool He bought a balloon and headed straight to the lagoons There as he sat on the sprawling silver sands A strange idea had come upon his little head Send a letter to God seeking help from his generous hands Hoping Jesus would listen, he too being born as a poor kid On a white paper he carefully scribbled these lines: “Merciful God, look upon us, this unfortunate seven Here, we die of hunger leading miserable lives On this Christmas, send us a little cheer up from heaven” He folded the paper and fastened it to the balloon Nevertheless, he didn’t forget to put his full address When the wind was strong, he let it fly over the lagoon And watched it soar high with his earnest plea for redress Days went by and the awaited Christmas Eve arrived While the world splurged in all gaiety and merriment The poor hut remained dull with all pleasures deprived The helpless parents were lost in grim bafflement Abruptly, there halted before their hut a Ferrari A man, old and greying with a graceful smile Alighted from the car and stood looking all cheery Searching the boy, he had travelled many a mile It was during one of his daily strolls around the lagoon That the gentleman saw a balloon tangled on a willow tree The white paper tied to it, he unfastened from the balloon Unfolding it, he saw an innocent child’s earnest plea The man so rich and kind was moved at heart, He from his wealth decided to donate a large sum, To support that family of seven so severely distraught, And give them the merriest Christmas to be no more glum. The little boy believed Jesus has answered his prayer, Coming in the guise of a man, he has never before seen. With rising delight, he beheld in the sky a luminous star. It shone right over his head with a brilliant sheen.
