When I found the following picture two years ago,
I fell in love with it's sweet innocence.
I posted it, but said it needed a poem to go with it.

NicknamedBob wrote this brilliant poem,
To accompany the graphic,
And I thank him.

I hope you all enjoy it as much as I do:

Hello There!

Hello there, Christmas Present!
You rode with me last year!
It’s nice to see you’ve settled in,
I’ll bet you like it here!

They like you too, I see it,
Look how you’re dressed today!
I’m sure you’d be the prettiest,
Doll on my marvelous sleigh!

But I won’t take you away from here,
You’re right where you need to be,
Still, I feel really grateful,
For the present your mom gave me.

To see that you’re having a good time,
And growing up really fine,
Is quite the reward for this old man,
Sweet kids are a hobby of mine.

Now tell me what else I can do for you,
Something you’ll need next year,
Just climb right up into Santa’s lap,
And whisper some words in my ear.

I’ll understand what you are saying,
Though your mom may not get it, quite.
Your little whisper will be acted upon,
And you’ll both sleep with smiles in the night.

NicknamedBob . . . . . . . . December 21, 2008

What a beautiful Christmas gift for these old eyes on Christmas eve. I wanted to drop in and wish everyone a MERRY CHRISTMAS, even though I never seem to have time to spend with all the wonderful people here. Most of the time I find that I only have time to scan the headlines and check out what seems to be important threads. I really miss the good times here at Amy’s place. I wish for each one of you a blessed Christmas. May your dreams and wishes come true.
