Just One Gift

by Aaron Deevers   Jan 4, 2008


Let me tell you a story
One that has everything
From the sun shining
To the moon rising
From cheerful kids
To adults a laughing

So not to keep you
I shall start away
It deals with a boy
He wanted just one gift
Yet no one not even his parents
Could find such a gift

So the parents thought
Who could help them out
They thought of only one person
Yes his name is Santa

So they took the boy to the mall
And when the boy saw this man
The one who was in a big red coat
He smiled so big and bright

As he ran up the this man
The first words he spoke the boy spoke
Were "are you really him, are you really Santa?"
As the man smiled and with a little chuckle
He said, "Ho Ho Ho, I am him, Santa that is"

As the parents watched
The boys smile was even bigger and brighter
The man asked the boy "what can I bring you on Christmas day?"
With a glimmer in his eye he replied, "I only wanted to meet you, the real Santa"
As the man smiled, you could see a tear form in his eye

So to end this story
On Christmas morning just as the sun had raised
The boy ran down to the tree
And to his surprise sat a gift as big as could be
The boy could not wait for his parents to wake
So as he unwrapped his present
That smile that was big and bright had return

There in front of him sat a puppy
But you think just a puppy
Not to the boy it was a puppy from Santa himself
As the parents came down they saw what he had
The laughed and knew he had gotten his gift

A story that had a lot more than I said and a little less too
I hope that this has brighten your mood
To you and your family a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year

~A little late, but never a wrong time to have a cheerful Christmas poem to cheer up the mood~

    Hi Aaron,

    This is a wonderful story, especially when it's read to children. I would have liked it even better if each stanza had had four lines, but that's just me, lol.

    Take care,

    5/5 Ingrid
