Christmas Angel
As I walked by the shops
I saw a little boy staring excitedly
On his own I asked where is parents were
He answered they cannot be with me
Puzzled I enquired why this was so
He looked at me and explained with a sigh
My daddy’s in heaven and my mummy is ill
She is in hospital I fear she will die
It’s Christmas you see I’m looking to buy
An angel that’s gentle and mild
An angel that performs miracles
These pitiful words uttered by this child
I was so overcome by his sorrowful tale
I took hold of his hand and took him inside
When he found out the Angel was too expensive
The little boys smiled dropped, he started to cry
I purchased the Angel so gentle and mild
Then prayed for a miracle as he walked away
It was a few weeks after Christmas I saw them
I will never forget that wonderful day
Their faces were beaming with happiness
They both approached me and smiled
His mother thanked me for the gift
Of the Angel so gentle and mild
The Angel was placed by my bed
In the night the Angel so gentle and mild
Filled the room with her iridescent light
A miracle was performed for that thoughtful child
My prayers were also answered
Your thoughts can perform miracles to
Just think of that Angel so gentle and mild
Then she will answer your prayers for you

Christmas desire
-
December brings us,
Christmas time
This time of year,
Is so divine
We come together,
For family games
We stuff ourselves,
With candy canes
Under the tree,
It’s presents galore
The city turns white,
Let the snow pour
The streets and houses,
Covered in lights
Everywhere you look,
There’s sweet delights
We always feel stuffed,
Too much food
The Christmas spirits,
Put us in a great mood
Our stockings hung,
Over the glowing fire
Did Santa bring you,
Your desire. -
