There's Something to this 'Santa Thing'

Asked him for the good health I’d missed all year This week my aches and pains disappear Stress bombarded me every month, becoming quite severe But now in December, it’s vamoosed right out of here Feared to utter the words ‘Ice and Snow’ aloud Yet this December in Chicago, not one street plowed Now, dare I ask for peace on earth, good will toward men? Not exactly Santa’s domain ~ Please G-d he comes through again

A great wish Gershon. Since Santa has granted you all those wishes you are 'On a Roll' as they say in Australia. Your beautiful inspired poetry got you the POTD, which is yet another wish come to fruition - Congrats. Now you, Santa and the rest of the world, need send up our wishes all together so peace is declared to all mankind - after all that's what Christmas is about - Right? Hugs Maria

I'd say ,"a great poem". Perhaps January will be good, too. Cold weather changes the environment. Best wishes for better health in 2025.

God can and will bring peace on earth, but I don't know if it will be in my lifetime on earth. I really don't think it will happen while I am here, but God can bring surprises. I hope this New Year will be the best one for you and your family. Sara K
