Burnt To a Crisp

burnt to a crisp - Christmas. but the town is famous for its restoration, though pets be gone - eight in all; one sits on his lap, joining the family’s source of hope, lifting the community’s spirits - touched by the light of Christ, afterall he’s the source. the Grinch became educated — there was more than the feast, than the tree, than the bulbs. a calm and gentle manner upon lost souls. my hero on earth, my cousin and kin, all the right stuff resides within. 12/28/2019
