A Meager Christmas Poem by Audrey Heller

Christmas, is just around the corner!
How the time, did fly! But this year, will
not be the same, as we watched, the
economy, die! It will have to be a meager
Christmas, unlike the ones, we've known
before. For most of us, are not in a position
and can't do much, anymore. Of course,
there will be some, presents, but spending
will be done, sparingly. Unfortunately, it can't
be helped, so they'll be fewer presents, under
the tree. It might be hard, for children, to
understand, we have to talk to them, so they
won't fret. For all of us, have fallen on hard times.
We have to be grateful, for whatever we get.
Let's hope next year, it will be back, to the way,
things were and we'll feel, full of glee. That is my
dearest wish, for everyone, including me!
