“Wow! It’s Christmas, happiness coming <br />Now for the gift welcoming loving <br />Then to the church to bow before God <br />And to the market to buy me a gift <br />I have the fifty cents all for myself” <br />Fanny jumped happily, she ran out to shop. <br /> <br />Dancing and skipping she went on her way <br />Across holy Churches, <br />Across lit up houses <br />Across snow laden parks and snowy canals <br />Gardening, sweating <br />She had made her money. <br /> <br />“I want a present, <br />A present I want, <br />I had a hard time to earn these <br />Christmas is the best time to forget it all” <br />She cried out with joy, <br />To the man in the shop <br /> <br />Beautiful pastries and plum cakes a fresh <br />Packed up in boxes <br />She left from the shop <br />But lo! At the end of the street, she did see <br />A young dainty lady, holding her child <br />Sobbing away at the plight so sad <br /> <br />Tired she looked, unhappy too <br />For her baby was sick and hungry too <br />Fanny stood still and thought for a while <br />Then the gift to the child, she smilingly gave <br />The two of them, <br />Very grateful now, went on their way to their cold little home <br /> <br />Blessed is the child, <br />Who gift from the heart <br />Rest she will ever in the arm of her Lord. <br /> <br />December 2007 <br /> <br /> <br />(I wrote this for the Christmas celebration December 2007 in my school.
