Darlene De Beaulieu Poet Sonnet

Santa's Lap and Photos

At the shopping mall
A long line up waits
Children excited
To chat with Santa
As they wait their turns
They day dream of toys
Underneath the tree
Coming Christmas Day
Each child has a photo 
Taken with Santa Claus
A picture to treasure
For many years to come
With their memories
Of that special day
