SANTA'S GIFT - by Elaine P. Keefe

SANTA'S  GIFT   by  Elaine P. Keefe The laughter of eternity's children Resides in the glint of his eyes, And his joyous laugh, which surrounds us all, Leaves an echo that never dies. The good will he sows so generously Wraps us warmly in blankets of cheer, And the words that he speaks bring great hope and joy To small angels far and near. To see a child's hopeful excitement As he rests upon Santa's knee Or the look of wonder on her face When she encounters the magical tree Overwhelms my heart with tenderness And brings me lightness of mind. Santa is here to spread his gift Of peace to all mankind.
