Christmas Wish

I’m not looking forward to Christmas Not since we lost Mum this year I’m not looking forward to a Christmas Devoid of any Christmas cheer Dads doing his best to lift our spirits All though inside he’s really hurting too He wants to make it a special time And do the things like Mum used to do So we decked the house with garlands And trimmed the Christmas tree We hung the Christmas cards on strings So that everyone could see Then with all the decorations up My Dad went round us one by one To ask us what gift we wanted And he promised his best would be done My sister Jules wants new clothes Kenny wants music of any kind The twins they want an X-Box And the baby really doesn’t mind Then Dad asked me “what do you want son? What gift would stop you feeling glum”? I said “I don’t want a present Dad All I wish for Christmas is my Mum”
