Papa saw Christmas

in a different way.

Maybe it was

the tiny twig tree,

or maybe the seeds

that helped Papa see

the other guy’s needs.

But whatever it was, Pa shouldered his ax

and spared the tree.

He remembered what Christmas is really about.

He’d had it all backward and inside out.

“This,” said Pop,

with a far-off Christmas-y

look in his eye,

“is a time to think

of the other guy.

A time,” he continued,

“to be thinking of others—

to show love and respect

to your sisters and brothers.

And to treat them all

with kindness and concern.”

It had just taken Papa Bear

a little long to learn.

Those Sunday School lessons

which seemed so far away,

had stayed in Papa’s heart

’til this very day.
