Gathered round this old tree
So many tales to tell
Whispering the journeys
Of the ones it knows so well
Tied about its weathered limbs
Knotted cotton laces
If you look closely at them all
You’ll surely see the faces
Of children laughing merrily
While dancing in the sun
Barefooted in the meadow grass
Until the day is done
Then late at night when all is calm
And no one’s round to hear
The elfin folk gather soles
Then quickly disappear
They carry them throughout the woods
To those who need them more
Gently placing each worn pair
Outside a cottage door
Then back into the forest
Before the morning light
Where they must wait impatiently
To return again at night
This poem was inspired by Belinda’s, of Busy Mind Thinking, photograph, and her thoughts about the shoes that have been disappearing. I hope I did it justice 🙂 Thank you, B, for allowing me to use your photo and run with it!! ❤

Dedicated to all the wonderful men who grace the malls and schools, and businesses, who give of their time to bring joy to the children, and smiles to the adults…I say Thank you 🙂
Twas the night before Christmas
The place was in tatters
Ribbons and wrappings
And empty cookie platters
With no time to waste
I had to move fast
The children were waiting
With lists in their grasps
I threw on my long johns
And fastened the flap
I hope I can get out of these things
In a snap!
With my belly all stuffed
And my white fluffy beard
Donned my red woolen coat
Wrapped in holiday cheer
Little eyes glowing, pure and simple, with glee
When they came and they sat upon my bended knee
The excitement I saw, was worthy of bliss
When they jumped off my lap, and blew me a kiss
Oh! What joy it brings to my heart
Making sure all was merry and bright
With my sack fully packed
And the sleigh on its way
Merry Christmas to all
And to all a good night!
