That Jolly Fat Man!
IT IS a time of
family and friends gathering in warmth,
IT IS a time of
giving and receiving in the hope of something greater,
IT IS a time of
merriment and GOOD CHEER!
IT IS a time of
reflection, with that wry smile and a tear in the eye, we think of those long
ago's.
IT IS a time of HOPE, FAITH & LOVE!
He brought my dreams to me and love in my heart,
as I hurried down
those stairs, excitement beating triumphantly!
A moment pause,
all the promises behind that door,
my hand
instinctively turning the living room light on,
The glint and
sparkle of the wrapping paper, the abundance of gifts on the floor!
I smile with
gladness and delight, but in thought,
knowing how my
parents were poor,
the abundance was
for their children's delight!
Giving, without thought for themselves.
Hoping for better days!
They brought my dreams to me and love in their hearts...
As I slept every
day throughout the year!
But the
culmination of their love was in That Jolly Fat Man!
