Joy Is On the Way

Under heavy robes of red and a beard of snowy gray, worn boots carry him on ...for joy is on the way A warm smile endures the cold no blizzard could take away, the heart of this jolly man ...when joy is on the way Trinkets to be delivered before the break of day, meant to gladden everyone ...since joy is on the way Brings to us something lost our happiness gone astray, returns again this time of year ...as joy is on the way Spreading cheer over miles whether on foot or by sleigh, Christmas magic finds us all ...and joy is on the way!

I'm so glad you found joy in reading this poem, Connie, it was a joy for me to write! Thank you for making this one a favorite :)

You have found this lovely style of repetition that characterizes your poetry, regardless of form. I would fancy the reader, no matter the depth of their cynical nature, the irrepressible desire to run up and hug the man and whisper in his ear, "I love you, Santa."

Thank you once again for taking the time to read and comment so kindly on my work. I appreciate that very much Mark...and yes I do think that many more adults still believe in Santa Claus than we realize :)
