Valentine Santa
By Judi Hunter, Lakewood
At the Steilacoom post office as I waited in line
Hurried to mail a late Valentine….
A gentleman entered in his old wheelchair
Dressed in green with shoulder length hair
His beard was long and shaggy white
His smile was brief but his eyes were so bright.
His stocking hat bobbed when he answered his phone
“Workshop” he said as if he was alone.
His good-natured charm… soon gave me pause
Because I noticed his badge said…. “Santa Clause!
”
Yes, he brought a smile to all of our faces
For we can find Santa in so many places!
Your story put a smile on my face, too.
