Things to Ponder

by Billy Gilbreath, guest writer

Gone and gone for days now past

Wondering would Santa arrive

No chimney but an old stove pipe

Too hot even to touch and yet

Somehow he made it wit

Apples, Oranges, Brazil Nuts,

Chocolate candy, wrinkled peppermint,

A single gift but gif glad

Knowing the sacrifice of 

Those who cared, loved

Done without just to

Make us happy and something

To place under the tree

In the pan so carefully placed

Only a few will understand.

Me thinks I know who they are,

Those I love and remember.
