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 Curtis Moorman 24 November 2019

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.
