The Christmas Stocking
"The Christmas Stocking" is a reflective poem tracing the arc of one man's life through the symbol of a hung stocking. From the breathless excitement of childhood Christmas mornings to the quiet joy of watching a baby's first stocking, the poem shifts into something far more tender and aching — a silent house, a small grave, and pines swaying in the wind. The speaker raises a final toast to children everywhere, that hands may always be found to fill their stockings.
