Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Teddy Bear Christmas

The old man now lived all alone,

No one to spend his Christmas with.

In aging, his sadness had grown,

Santa, for him now just a myth.

Once he thought Santa Claus was real,

When a teddy bear came to be

A Christmas gift making him feel

The joy of sharing company.

But as the years did come and go,

A bitter man from happy boy,

And loneliness he came to know,

Having no heart for any joy.

Then Santa found somehow, somewhere

The old man's childhood teddy bear.
