Christmas presents piled high against the wall <br />Too many to go under the tree, they might fall <br />Glistening ornaments sparkling with the light <br />A beautiful window for those driving at night <br /> <br />Nice decorations adorning the lawn <br />A pretty little doe and a real cute fawn <br />Christmas lights flashing, coming down the street <br />Santa Claus there for everyone to greet <br /> <br />Two little children, watching out the window next door <br />They don’t understand that they are really poor <br />Wondering where the beauty is for their yard <br />Wondering why their lawn just looks so charred <br /> <br />Never had a daddy, mommy works all the time <br />Mommy cries when the Christmas bells chime <br />They write a letter to Santa, asking for a daddy this year <br />Maybe under their small tree, he might appear <br /> <br />So many people less fortunate than us <br />In my world, they would have surplus <br />No child in the world should ever have tears <br />They should be happy without worry and fears. <br /> <br />By Dogs4donna <br /> <br /> <br />© 2006 Dogs4donna (All rights reserved)<br /><br />Donna Nimmo<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/children-at-christmas/
