Christmas With Timmy

 

Christmas With Timmy

© by Bud Lemire on Dec 11, 2021

It was suppose to be the best Christmas this year

But every smile, was followed by a tear

Covid took his Mom, she was needed in Heaven

Little Timmy, heartbroken, was only seven

His Dad was in the Hospital, and very sick

He thought him being there, would do the trick

The Doctors and Nurses, tried their very best

Daddy was going to stay there, as their permanent guest

Off he went to stay with Auntie Claire

He wondered why he ended up there

On the Ventilator, no improvements on Dad

The tears would flow, Timmy was very sad

Sometimes he got to watch, the news on TV

So many people, not wearing masks, he could see

How stupid, could these people be

If they only knew, what happened to me

He said a little prayer, before going to bed

These are the words, that went through his head

“They are afraid, and excuses they do make”

“Making it worse, with each move they don't take”

Timmy wondered, if there was some way

To get them to understand, with every day

“Even on their death bed, they will deny”

“That this virus is real, which would be a lie”

For Christmas, he opened up his gift

Something, that would give him a lift

A family portrait, that he'll always remember

Every Christmas time, every month of December

An Angel whispered “We took your Daddy today”

“It's okay, he'll be better now, anyway”

Timmy held the picture, close to his heart

He knew that their love, would never be apart

Timmy was just a boy then. He grew up and gave

many lectures on the importance of believing and

doing the right thing for your health. There were

still some who didn't believe, but there were many

who were touched by what he experienced in his life.

He changed the way many people thought. But there

were still those who were Brain-Washed, which he could

not do anything about. They would have to learn the

hard way.
