Christmas Bonus
Christmas indeed is blissfully wondrous
Yet one character makes my child nervous
A Santa granting no gift
As if showing dearth midst thrift
Negating spirit to be generous.
My boy’s Christmas fright can be humorous
Yet his demands for giving* is serious
Toward season’s blessed lift
Against “mine alone” rift…
Thank God, He's poured his special needs’ bonus!
*Acts 20:35 I have shewed you all things, how that so labouring ye ought to support the weak, and to remember the words of the Lord Jesus, how he said, It is more blessed to give than to receive.
