Curtis Moorman Poet Rhyme

Santa, Or Jesus

SANTA, OR JESUS

While talking with a niece of mine
She spoke of Santa Claus
And then she spoke of Jesus
Then sat in a lengthy pause

If you believe in Santa Claus
That's  okay with me
But Santa Claus didn't die for us
Hanging on a cruel tree

Santa's nice to have around
He's jolly as can be
He reputedly comes once a year
And leaves presents 'neath the tree

Well, that is mighty kind of him
A miracle, in a way
But the only time that happens 
Is once in every year

But Jesus Christ is with you
Every day, my dear
She pondered this then said to me
I want Jesus too

I asked her why and she replied
Because He died for me
Hanging on a cruel cross
Fashioned from a tree

Silent One November 24, 2019 at 4:53 PM also santa is not real... great poem.. hope you are well my friend.. Curtis Moorman November 25, 2019 at 7:08 AM S O, I appreciate your stopping by. You are absolutely right -- santa is not real, but Jesus is! I'm glad you like the poem. There is a large number of poets on Soup that I admire and respect immensely but if I began to name them, I would surely leave someone out. Just know that you are among them and there is no particular order of the list should I make it.
