A mother took her little boy To the department store To introduce
him to Santa Claus And hear what he'd ask him for.
To her surprise,
here's what she heard And it filled her heart with joy. He didn't ask, a
thing, for himself Not even one little toy.
"Oh, Santa Claus"
she heard him say, "I hear you're very kind; Please give to the man
on the corner, sight; You see, that poor man's blind."
"And
for my friend, who has no dad To bring him toys all year; Please give to
him, the things you planned To bring to me this year."
"And
you know the little girl next door; She can't hear a word I say. Please let
her hear the songs we sing For this Christmas Day."
On Christmas
Day, the little boy Ran to the corner and there, He saw the man, and saw
him smile. No longer, a cold blank stare.
Quickly, he ran to his little
friend, The one orphaned of his dad; And there he saw so many toys, More
than HE'D ever had.
Next, he went to the little girl's house, To see
if she could hear, And heard HER singing Christmas Carols, In tones, melodious
and clear.
Happily, he ran to tell his mother the news But she could
see it in his face That God had given to her son, Each gift, with all His
grace.

(This poem was inspired by the authors son. His dad was playing Santa
at a friend's store and he did not recognize his daddy. All the things
he asked for were true. He was only four and a half years old at the time.
He is now a grown man with children of his own and every year he plays Santa
in his small hometown in Main. He visits all the children and takes
them small token gifts. A true Spirit of Christmas.)
