Senor Kent's Christmas Tree

This just in from our tanguero friend, Kent Wade:

Hola Cherie and Ruben,

And a Happy Holiday Season to you! A friend of mine asks me write an Xmas poem for his clients each year. This year his daughter did a drawing of an Xmas tree for the card. We collaborated and I wrote a poem to accompany it. Here is my offering this year. Hope that you like it!

Abrazos senor Kent

Christmas tree

A glow with light,

Children sleep

Tucked in so tight.

A moment taken,

Ours to ponder,

What precious gift,

Dare we not squander.

To give our children

And friends alike,

In a world of turmoil

Of less, of fear,

Hope and patience

Should be our cheer.

With a homemade toy,

A dish to savor,

A dribble of ink

On handmade paper,

Wrapped with a bow

So colorful, bright

A treasured gift

Will calm the night.

Let's fill our hearts

With joy and play,

Much peace to you

On Christmas day!
