Edgar Guest - Is There A Santa Claus?
Work rating: Low

“Is there a Santa Claus?" she asked,
"Come, daddy, tell me true;
I heard today the good old saint
Is really, truly, you;
That no one down our chimney comes
To little girls and boys,
That you and mama really buy
My dollies and my toys."

I held her on my knee and gazed
Into her searching eyes; Somehow, 
I`ve felt this time would come,
This question would arise;
And yet, I pondered to myself,
What shall I say or do,
And then I answered: "Yes, there is
A Santa Claus for you.

"He comes to you on Christmas Eve,
But let me tell you this: 
He`s with you when you hug your dad,
And when his cheek you kiss; 
He`s with you when you say your prayers
To God, who reigns above; 
Sometimes he has another name,
We grown-ups call him Love.

"You keep your faith in Santa Claus
When others bid you doubt, 
You still retain your faith in him,
Let not belief die out; 
And, what you heard today is wrong "—
I felt the tear drops start — 
"Yes, yes, there is a Santa Claus,
He lives in daddy`s heart."
