Poor man's Christmas
This is a belated Christmas poem
Poor man's Christmas
They lived so long in poverty and couldn't even afford a Christmas tree . Their Christmas would start the following day when xmas trees were thrown away
He searched the garbages for garland and bows and xmas wrap - anything that he could carry back .
He found old xmas toys that were thrown away it was something for his kids to play .
He had worked every job that he could find and even washed dishes at the five and dime .
He washed cars shoveled snow , these are the things that he did know .
With every bit of pay he would put something away saving for that xmas day .
He saved enough money to buy coats for his wife and two girls for they was his entire world .
He took home everything that he had found and laid it on the ground
He stood up the tree in a corner space and decorated it with the garland and lace .
Gift wrapping the presents and putting them around the tree , so it would be the first thing that they would see .
They awoke with surprise in their eyes as they all began to cry .
They were poor but very blessed for they had passed life's biggest test .
" Loving one another "
