Her First Poem

One written gift for Santa, left beneath the tree -- a scribble of a sorts~ bad punctuation, mixed lower and upper case rhyme -- but it was the place left that meant the world, alongside a crayon heart drawn by a little girl who only wanted to say: I love you, in her own special way. Merry Christmas also to Mrs. Clause, and all the deer and elves. And a blanket for baby Jesus.

From a child's angle, these are the best gifts she can offer for each one who figures as the central characters in the great Christmas episode. A cute poem without any ambiguities.... very heartfelt. Hope you had a great Christmas. Now wish you a lovely New year of health, happiness and prosperity.

I value crafts by the very young above commercial look alike. There is no limit to imagination for a child.

From the mouths and hands of babes. Some of the greatest lessons of unconditional love, were taught to me by sizes much smaller than myself. God bless and keep safe the children.
