LET THEM BE A CHILD

Santa thought of the children,

and the burden some must bear.

Just because their paren ts,

of them will not take care.

He looked up to the heavens,

and a star shining bright.

He thought of the Christ Child,

who was born this Holy night.

He knelt in his sleigh,

as he flew into the night.

He asked to find these children,

and make their burden light.

Take the burden they carry,

and on their parents it be piled.

Give them hope and love,

and let them be a child.

Joan always slept with her grandma in her big so丘bed. She carried her overnight case into Grandmàs bedroom and ever so carefully took the little angel out she had made for Grandma. She carried it into the kitchen to put on the refrigerator door. Her Grandma watched as Joan

ever so gently placed the angel on the door. Joan said.

    "Remember now, you and 1 have to watch over Grandma for

Grandpa."

    After lunch, Joan asked her dad to walk with Wag and her to the back forty. She had something special to hang on the shade tree where Grandpa always rested while Wag searched for Grandpa.
