Holiday Wishes

All I want for Christmas is what I want every year Not presents, not a card, not a crisp white tree But just for my family to be here And to spend a little time with me All I hope for the holidays is what I hope for in many instances Not riches, not to own a mansion or an expensive car But just for loved ones all across the world to put aside their differences And to be happy with whatever they have and wherever they are All I wish for this year is what I wish for me and everybody's lives Not to be understood, not to be number one or the smartest girl But just for that person who is contemplating suicide To know that they have a purpose in this world All I ask for is simple indeed, but simplicity is everything it can never be Truth is, the chances for my being President is higher than seeing these wishes happening
