Christmas Expectations : Childrens Poetry

written by Poet : Paul McCann


As a child Christmas was a dream to me .
Somehow on Christmas morning all my dreams came true .

As a child I appreciated Christmas time and that appreciation in me grew .

Children’s expectations change with the times .
Our kids expect more that the kids of yesterday .

For instance today’s hi-tech toys have a mind of their own .
Children don’t need to think to play .

In my time kids expected nothing for Christmas .
They  were happy with almost anything .

These days Christmas means a lot more to kids  ,
Like long lists of things that they want Santa to bring . 

See the children’s needs and their greed’s .
Children’s expectations have rearranged the games they play .
 
Its good to reflect on what Christmas  is all about .
I’d expect the same of kids today .

May the child Jesus bring us the greatest gift this Christmas .
A peaceful world in which to live .

Happy Christmas to one and all .
It’s a day for the kids and a time to for us all to give .
