They were husband and wife,
and they had a son,
older than me.
But they treated me
like family.
I called them
Mum and Dad.
I called their son
my brother.
I had toys.
No one bullied me.
They knew my favourite foods,
what I loved to do.
We went on family day outs.
We went on holiday abroad.
I won a medal
and they were proud.
Every drawing I made,
every report at school,
every small success,
they noticed.
Even when I was bad
or made mistakes,
they got down to my level
and explained.
They didn’t punish.
They guided.
They were patient.
They made time for me.
I felt accepted.
I felt like I belonged.
I wanted to stay there.
That house, that family,
that love—
was the best part
of my childhood.

How does Christmas day go?
12am still cant sleep,
8am
wow
its Christmas
run down stairs
wait moms still asleep
maybe just a peek first
wake up mom
wake up dad
Merry Christmas
As children
we were all that way
so happy ,
so merry
so ready for Christmas day
but as we get older we see the truth,
and the lies
Santa isnt really
its only the the Christmas spirit
and sometimes
in the worst cases
Christmas means good bye
say goodbye to your money
and hello to a living room
full of presents.
But its all worth it
ya know?
To now see
why your parents did it for so many years
now to see
your children's faces
light up
exactly like the lights
wrapped around the Christmas tree
Christmas isnt about the presents
though so many people think it is
it becomes a time
to be with you family
and though your children,
they'll wont see it
see what you went through
to get them everything
everything they wanted
but once they do
they'll understand
just as you do now
exactly why you did it
