[hometext] => I am a male registered nurse. I work part-time in a nursing home...thus the inspiration for my writing this prose poem.
[bodytext] => It was exactly nine-thirty on Christmas eve night, and several residents had gathered in the beautifully decorated lounge of the Tender Care Nursing Home, when suddenly and unexpectedly, the door to the lounge flew open and in walked the most wonderful Santa any of them had ever seen. He was absolutely perfect, sporting a red crushed velvet suit with matching Santa hat, a snowy-white beard, and of course...shiny black boots. Walking over to each of the residents present, the Santa offered a personal "Merry Christmas." He shook hands with the men and kissed each of the women on the cheek before leaving. "Wasn't he beautiful?" A woman in a wheelchair whispered. "Oh...I feel like a child again," another sighed. "I believe...I believe..." a frail voice uttered. For those few precious moments in time, all the terrible things that so distress and agitate the world seemed to hang suspended. And that tiny fragment of childhood that clings- that lingers forever within the hearts of all good people, rose to the surface and placed stars in their eyes...once more.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
