Santa's Love

One by one
they line up
for a smile
a hug
a word
from Santa

As if time stops
on Santa’s knee
fortune and
social status
not mattering

One time
children
are treated
fairly

Allowed
to dream
to hope

If only…

Richard Lamoureux Date: 7/28/2019 12:28:00 AM We never passed on the Santa ideal to our son. He didn’t seem to miss out anything. We helped him seek out larger dreams. Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 7/28/2019 6:28:00 AM We were a poor family with six kids, so my parents did the same.
