Who is this man….
his beard so thick,
Placing a treasure in my palm
sweet hopes, a peppermint to lick.
Who is this man soliciting joy?
promising peace on earth,
or perhaps a toy?
Who is this man….?
Who threw coins to the poor;
In a red velvet snow-trimmed suit,
Preferring chimney to door?
Who is this man?
bringing the song of elves and trains,
In a wink he summons snowflakes,
holds back the reins,
Who is this man….
teases the darkness to fade,
…..finds the long lost child inside,
And asks for nothing in trade?
