William H.A. Willbond MSM, CD

BREAK THE NEWS GENTLY

Grandchildren are a wondrous thing
School choirs like the angels sing
Listening to the sleigh bells ring
True happiness each yuletide brings

Desmond said his nightly prayers then he went to bed
listening for the prancing hoofs pulling Santa’s sled
Reggie practised piano and he played with GI Joe
Jingle Bells, pudding smells to sounds of ho ho ho

Joel got a Mickey Mouse and a new soccer ball
Jared got a rattle and a new crib down the hall
Liam got a hockey stick and a rocking horse
Shaelyn got a lot of stuff and Barbie dolls of course

Death of Santa Claus
