Boy Grinch

The boy grinch went home crying to his mom
"I don't think I am loved by anyone
Can't agree with all my pals say or do
And they won't listen to my point of view."

"Now you just come listen to me, my son
Free speech is entitled to everyone
And they're allowed to have their share of fun
So go tell 'em that from this moment on."

"It's you that must change attitudes, dear son
So do your best always from this day on"
Grinch slunk away and began thinking hard
Then felt a stirring occur in his heart.

From that moment on he began to change
Smiling at all folk who came within range
The response he got gave him great pleasure
Knew he'd not have the grumps again, ever.

Then he gave his mom a kiss and a hug
Thanked her for all of her caring and love
She told him, "son you are my joy, my pride
I knew one day you'd find goodness inside."

He knew in heart it must be how Scrooge felt
He'd found out what Christmas was all about
It's the giving, sharing, caring and love
And rejoicing in our gift from above.

At that he went out shouting loud and clear,
"God Bless, Merry Christmas, Happy New Year.”
