Santa Claus

what's Christmas for little Matilda, a little girl some place in Brazil what's Santa for little Tomas, a little orphan some place in the dry north, two different kids, two different sides of the globe two kids with a common back ground, poverty grown deep inside them Tommy heard the name Santa from a story he heard read, yes from that delicious smelling book a white guy had given him that's the greatest gift he had ever had, it wasn't Christmas but it was his best Christmas little Matilda came cross to Santa, yap,that old chap that looked like Moses, she cried, mummy have seen Santa but why is Santa dressed like us, he's got the beards, but why are his shoes torn she ran along and hugged him and the old chap painted a smile, that was the best Christmas gift the old man had ever had for once in a harves tmoon someone thought he was human little Matilda was Santa Claus to the old chap she had given him a Christmas joy Santa Claus,Santa Claus give someone a smile and you deserve the name bring forth the joy and be Santa to someone ****Merry Christmas poetry soup family****
