The Towns Children

It was the 24th of December and all I can remember Were we glissade in the snow on a sled before bed With the tree draped with candy and light’s a glow We all sat around watching a Christmas show In a town of 3,000 everyone knew our stockings would be bare We never cared for the love we had brought us cheer each year We would drink our hot coco watching the snow and know Having love was more important then any Christmas shows All tucked into our beds whispering low Do you think Santa will show this year? No my brother said, he wouldn’t be able to make it now go to bed With tiny tears running down my face I closed my eyes and prayed God please help my family for presents I do not need I awoke the next morning hearing my brothers screaming loud Santa!, Santa, Santa has been here There were over 200 presents placed by our door The town’s children gave us each one of theirs A year I will never forget the year my heart was filled with love I still remember this each and every year The day the towns children gave us Christmas Cheer Contest: Town Children Sponsored by: Julia Ward Date created 09/07/2019
