For Christmas we gather. (original) (raw)

Remember mom
that little squatty santa claus toy
that you always had out
for Christmas
that chubby little doll ringed
with�long white hair and curly beard
that�always drew attention
and comments from kin and guests
remember the one
that was supposed to play jingle bells
but didn't
the santa that your grandsons liked so much
and played with every Christmas
do you remember mom
well now
your greatgrandson
the one you never knew
is playing with it
and loving it�so dearly
you would be proud
and even though it's about
the same size he is
he carries it around with him
like a security blanket
takes it with him from room to room
dances with it when music comes on
and takes it to bed with him
when he spends the night
he loves your red santa mom
and it brings him great joy
and happiness
his face lights up
- when he sees it and
a big smile comes across his face
when he finds your santa

just wanted you to know mom
that your santa
and your love
lives on.
