I have eaten
the cookies
that were on
the mantel
and which
you had probably
left there
for Santa
Forgive me
they were delicious
so sweet
and so warm
—
I have read
the note
that was by
the cookies
and which
you had thoughtfully
written
for Santa
Forgive me
it was delightful
so sweet
and so warm.
—
I have burned
the note
that you left
for Santa
and which
would have proven that
there had
been cookies
Forgive me
it was glorious
so bright
and so warm
