I came up with a silly poem to give my secret Santa teacher pal on our final day, and I just thought I’d share that with you. But please be aware that you can eliminate the religious stanza to make it more adaptable to your Secret Santa.
I’m sure you’re thinking daily
Who sent this stuff to you?
She’s poetic and she’s crafty
Or at least she thinks that’s true
Perhaps you’d like a hint
Perhaps you want a clue
Well brace yourself, it’s coming
That’s what I’m about to do
The first time that I met you
I thought you were a farce
“No one’s that nice,” I said to myself
“She’s faking it, of course.”
How foolish was I, how stupid
To think it wasn’t you
With your sweet smile and clever eyes
And all the kind things you do
You had a secret. I didn’t know
That Jesus was in your heart
Your kindness is a reflection
Of those who stand apart
So now I understand
Your goodness is genuine
I can’t believe I thought you fake
The error is definitely mine
And someday when we’re old and gray
And ready to leave this place
I’ll see you up in heaven
With a genuine smile on your face
Unless they only let Catholics in
In which case I’m outta luck
I’ll wave to you from hell I guess
But that will really suck!
Now, of course, you’ll want to alter some of the words to fit your secret Santa pal. For example, you might want to change “Catholics” to “Baptists” (or whatever religion applies to your secret Pal belongs to). You could even change it to “Unless they only let science teachers in” if the person’s religion is unknown. Also, if the person is not a Christian, just eliminate the “Jesus was in your heart” stanza from the poem, and you’re good to go.
