Happy Holidays, by Mike 2
Holidays they come and go
But seem much better with some snow
Rain or shine, snow or hail
Santa’s on the present giving trail
Snow is better for Santa’s sleigh
So much easier for him to get away
He needs the speed to deliver the toys
There’s lots to give out to the girls and boys
Dolls and trains, prams and bikes
Delivering presents is what Santa likes
Have you been good, I hope you have been
Then Santa will visit you, but totally unseen
Holiday, they come and go
Season to be jolly it is so
Season to wish friends lots of cheer
Season for family to be near
Season for giving, that is true
And here’s my wish
Happy Holidays to you.
Thank you again, Mike! What a baautiful balancing act between emotion, humor, and nostalgia. You’re a poet, and we all are fortunate to know it. Merry Christmas and Happy 2010 to you and your family!
