Christmas Wishes

Christmas wishes like loaves and fishes

            feed the world in love--

While children dream of toys and things

            and reindeer flying above!

Hungry faces plead for more tasting

            of cookies and delights--

While parents think of tots and drink

            and budget for presents all night!

Yet of all gifts, one story sifts, through the sands  

            of distant memory--

Of hair shorn for combs not worn, told

            by the great O. Henry.

Nice Poem Christie! I like

Nice Poem Christie!

I like the feeling - it feels alive. It took me somewhere, I think you've captured something real here.

But I am at a loss for the name of the story.

Waiting to see who guesses

I'll keep checking back!

Don't you guys read? The Gift of the Magi. Its one of my favorites. You can find it online. But it is one of my favorite short stories by this author.

Hugs, Christie
