Happy Christmas Darlings
\nToday is the day
\nWe open our presents
\nSit around and play<\/p>\n
You like the tie we gave you
\nIt matches your suits
\nThe kids are stuffed with sweeties
\nThey even like their little toy flutes<\/p>\n
Toys lay around ready for assembly
\nWaiting for someone that just might be handy
\nTo push, stretch and pull them
\nWouldn\u2019t that be just dandy<\/p>\n
Among all the wrappings
\nThe paper and bows
\nShe sits there as they are
\nForgotten and low<\/p>\n
No one noticed and
\nNo one cared
\nNot a box with her name
\nDid anyone share<\/p>\n
Slowly she scooped up
\nChristmas giving\u2019s big mess
\nJust stood for a moment watching them there
\nHappy Christmas to me I guess and God Bless<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
