Christmas Tears

Hello, said the Christmas tree bulb to the boy,did you come here to see the toys? The boy just stood there and he began to cry, “no you see, for my father has lied,he promised he'd be here to share in this day.” “Yet he was here but couldn't stay, Mama says he's gone forever this time, I don't understand the reason why.” There's tears that run down the little boys face, as he turns away from this cheerless place. The little boy just walks away, and the bulb winks good-bye on this Christmas day. No longer will the bulb shine bright, for the little boys father, passed away that night.
