Christmas Stocking 


Once upon a time 

St Nicolas knew a poor family, he dropped 3 bags of gold coins down their  chimney it landed in a sock

Every wide eyed child then awakened to see what he  brought


Since the beginning of long ago time

There is a gift everyone may find playing through their mind


Changed days of apple and oranges , nuts and chocolate tucked deep down inside our stocking


Waiting on you to find

Everything about Christmas has crossed the fine line


From wanting, to giving

For richer or poorer 

New phones given on this Heavenly day

Not a moment to sit and pray


For the ones no one gave thought 

The homeless the needy

the one's forgot


Christmas Stocking was it meant to be this way

In this day and age

A Christmas Carol sang not from a page 

A iPad is all the rage


The fresh feel of a new paperback book

Held in your hand forever to look


It won't be hacked or blocked from your eye 

The meaning of Christmas 


Goodbye.
