A resurgence of yearnings of the heart
Sustenance of love torn apart
The last he remembered was being helpless
No garland of love or flowers
Demands from youngsters are more brazen
Santa sneaks in with presents
contrary to Yuletide cheer they declined the offer
expensive items they implore
expensive items they implore
A city kaleidoscopically engulfed in lights
Foliage but varied and bright
Many were all screened for the position
Why get a younger person?
tumbling, jumping to hold their attention
waif left to his own as an orphan
