Old man I see you there Pushing a trolley as if you don't care A sparkle in your eyes amongst the fanfare How is it you have time to share Polished falseys and a gleaming smile Little steps forever a mile Each one so worthwhile As you bask within your own style Old man I see your stare My hand outstretched so I may share Christmas blessings with love and care A stranger in your life with gifts to spare........

About this poem:
Blessing a complete stranger in the madness of shopping because he had a smile to share ...........
One nice thing about being old at Christmas time. You have the time to be patient and smile to those around you for your not in a hurry and can relax and enjoy the sounds and smells around you. I try to smile and make light conversation with those around me to try to ease their stress at least for a moment and most times it works. Happy New Year Nu to you and Kathy. Here is to another blessed - happy and healthy year for you both!
