Timothy Mcguire Poet Free verse

Santa Loves You

It’s your turn…
Come to Santa, my dear
If only for a minute
Forget life is often cruel 
And you are hungry
Forget your sadness, little one
Believe if only for a short reprieve
In the magic of Christmas
That dreams can come true
That you too deserve a happy home
Find it in your heart the joy to smile
And trust in miracles for that one minute
Free of fears that weigh you down…
Santa has a present for you
Perhaps the only one you’ll get this year
There’s no justice in the world
Santa’s smile really hides Santa’s tears



A collaboration with the very talented Line Gauthier posted on July 17, 2019
