If You Met Santa Claus – Poem

If you met Santa Claus, the first that you'd do
is find he knows you better than you'd expect him to.
You'd see his eyes, familiar, like those you've known before;
Eyes with the love of Mother, and Father, and much More.
You'd see that when he laughs, his joy is from your joy,
You'd see that what he gives you isn't simply just a toy.
If you met Santa and had a talk with him,
You'd see how he works through loved ones who know your best within.
You'd see his smile when you're tucked in at night,
You'd see that gentle gleam;
You'd know how he can understand just how goods you've been.
The mystery of what you want would be tracked to parents eyes,
to loving ears and questions asked by Santa's secret spies.
You'd understand how magic works,
and how Miracles are born.
You'd see he's more than just a symbol of peace upon the earth.
You'd see that Santa's real, and has loved you from your birth.
