Its rough around the edges I need to tidy it up as I only just finished it.
But I hope you like it anyway

Twas the night Before Xmas

Twas the night before Xmas
and safe in her house
A bearmaker was wishing
she could get soused

She had eyes to sew on
and limbs to stitch
and by george she found
those noses a b*tch

She thought to herself
"What am I doing?
I am no good at
this bearmaking"

When all of a sudden
there arose such a clatter
she rose from her sewing
to see what's the matter.

she went to the window
and got a surprise
the sight that she saw
brought tears to her eyes

for out on the lawn
stood all of her bears
that she had made
over the years.

Santa was with them
and he said gently
"we don't just make toys
we give love freely."

"as we toil away
we pass on the love
we give them a soul
a gift from above"

"the bears go out
and make people smile
and improve the world
not just for a while"

Santa hopped in his sleigh
as did the bears
they all waved goodbye
except one pair

They stopped and they turned
and with a shy little smile
said "thankyou so much
for giving us life"

She stood as she watched
this spectacular sight
as the sleigh with the reindeer
sped into the night

She went back inside
and picked up the bear
her heart felt lighter
happy and fair.

She looked at the bear
and she saw it smile
and in that moment
it was all worthwhile

She heard a soft whisper
out in the night
Merry Xmas to all
and to all a good night

Bron,
That's just what I needed and I'm sure I'm not alone! It's easy for bears to be come a drudgery at this time of year. What a special poem to help us remember how deep the meaning and how great the gift our bears are to others and ourselves!
Your poem has really touched me!
:hug:
