I Am Santa Claus

I Am Santa Claus

I am the wise men bearing thoughtful gifts,
Whether reindeer, camel, both with His star.
Drove by that spirit who wants to give joy,
From North to South and all places afar.

The same Spirit prompted St. Nicholas, too,
To fill the needs of all children and poor.
Though red and white fluffy belly am I, 
Someone whispers to me from door to door.

When you are touched with warmth to share yourself,
When you want to make happy someone else,
With gifts and smiles and songs of the Christ Child,
Stop, be still, listen to His peace a while.

Remember the stuff of which I am made,
Peace, joy, love, kindness, gentleness always.

What a cute poem Sunlite. I love Santa poems, and enjoy the whole tradition of Christmas for I believe, that somewhere in each of us, there is still the heart of a child lurking! Christmas wishes and hugs Jennifer.

Truly a beautiful sonnet, one that reminds me that good still exists in this dark and evil world. We had best remember and count our blessings! A fav... a true Christmas gem this is..

Beautiful, and so wise; making us remember that Santa Claus is all of these things, but what is he really? He is the symbol that REFLECTS the real JOY of the season, which is the Christ Child's birth. Well done!

So touching and appropriate, Sunlite - Love it. Thx for stopping by to take a look at poor Rudolph. I guess I had better stop giving him a rough time and let him get about his business! I hope he regains flight status so he can visit you and your family. A blessed Christmas to you and your loved ones - Bob
