Christmas Day

CHRISTMAS DAY (Childhood dreams) Many, many years to count ago I wanted lots of things From Dear old Father Christmas The many letters we all sent up Our chimneys that caught them aglow All we wrote in our best hand writing Of dolls and books we must not miss This and that we wanted on the list that went up These things I did so very long ago Always different lists every year of things We wanted sent to dear old Father Christmas Now all grown up, the grandchildren send them up But I never forgot the one from long ago When I remember such happiness I want to sing A Betta Building set, that I could make into many houses My I had such a shock that I woke every one up It had bricks, doors, windows and roof tiles that long ago Such joy of it I have never forgot that toy building thing The toy that came from dear old Father Christmas Now no longer young, no letters do I send up 16/12/16
