Where do you find Santa Claus? He is In Your Warm Festive Heart

Where do you find Santa Claus?

A friend had once asked me.

In the North or the South Pole,

Where? This is what I want to say.

 

Where you saw a hungry child

And you gave him slices of bread.

You gave him pieces of cheese,

That child knew, Santa Claus is in your heart.

 

Where you saw a homeless man

And you could feel the chills he felt.

You gave him your warm winter coat,

That man knew Santa Claus is in your heart.

 

Where you offered a blind lady

Your hand in crossing the street.

And as she profusely thanked you,

She knew Santa Claus is in your heart.

 

Where your young children lived

You promised to come back home.

Children rushing to the door to greet you,

They knew Santa Claus is in your heart.

 

Where you visited your ailing parent

Reassured her she will be fine.


You extended your kindness and warmth,

She knew Santa Claus is in your heart.

 

Where you found a long lost brother


And helped him in what you can.

Provided him a roof over his head,

He knew Santa Claus is in your heart.

 

 
 You provided your friend a place

With encouragement and hope.

Then in his heart he knew,

Where Santa Claus can be found, he finds him in you!

I can clearly state that I don't have a remote clue about what you're referring to so it's likely up to you to do the writing!

My apology. All this time, I thought that you live in New York City and thought that you knew, the "Tavern On the Green" is closing its door.

Waiter service was exemplary but the food truly stunk and was grossly overpriced.

I heard that, too. I have never eaten there but it is one of my favorite spots in Central Park, very festive.

This is a great reminder that Christmas is not just about physical presents. We can all celebrate Christmas everyday and keep giving meaningful gifts to the people around us. What goes around comes around. We will be blessed in return. Thank you for this article.

Very nice, warm and uplifting. I would go one step further for believers, and replace the words 'Santa Claus' with the words 'Jesus'.
 
Great poem for the Christmas season and all year long.

Hi David.
Thank you so much for your kind and warm words. I appreciate your stopping by, reading and commenting. Yes, I agree with you and when I wrote this, I have Jesus in my main thought of my poem.
Jesus reminds us that whatever "you did to the least of my brethren, you did it to me (Matthew 25:31-46)
Have a blessed, happy and healthy New Year to you and your family.

People in love are selfish, but do you believe that your boy will do everthing he can to make you happy as he promised
