Poem
A little girl said to her mother one day "Santa's not real, that's what my friends say" Her tears welled up and she started to cry And said" Is he real or is it a lie ?". Her mom was shocked that she had been put to the test And decided telling the truth would be for the best She thought for a moment then said carefully "Santa's spirit is real, as real as can be". "He lived in Myra by the Aegean sea It used to be Greece but now is Turkey He left this life a long time ago But not his spirit, that continues to grow". "His name was Bishop Nicholas and wore robes of red Was wealthy, helped the poor and made sure they were fed He did things in secret whilst they slept in their bed And soon people got to know about the bishop in red". "Something else about him that people don't know Was he came from a hot country and it didn't snow But the story grew bigger over the years Snow, elves and sleigh added along with reindeers". "All over the world little girls and boys Wake up Christmas day to lots of new toys And everyone says that Santa has been Presents are left but he's never seen". "Parents leave presents under the tree But Santa guides them with his legacy They do it for you out of kindness and love Under the watchful eye of Santa above". "Santa's spirit is alive, it's certainly not dead The world's full of people like the bishop in red Doing good for mankind, animals as well When you next see your friends, this story do tell". The little girl cheered up, kissed her mom and said "I too want to be like the bishop in red" "When I grow up, like Santa I'll be Helping the poor and the needy". Just like Nicholas who performed those good deeds Helping the less fortunate, seeing to their needs So when you venture out help someone if you can Be it an animal a child, woman or man. Merry Christmas. Written 13th December 2017 Writing Challenge - December, 2019 - I want Christmas Poems - Poetry Contest. Sponsored By Dear Heart - Wiishkobi Ode.
