My Christmas Wish

Dear Santa, there's not much I need That I can't do without. Getting my heart's deepest desire, Is not what my Christmas is about. Christmas is for childlren And filling up a stocking. If one should be missed because of me I'd find it very shocking. You may pass my chimney by If you stop at house next door. There is a bunch of children there And they seem so very poor. I know that they could use some toys And lots of nice new clothes. And if one has a heart's desire, Please bring him one of those. I know that home holds lots of love, I've seen their mama kiss them. I know she would be very sad If Santa Claus should miss them. I remember in the long ago, When you were poorer too, It was such an exciting thing To receive a gift from you. So Santa please don't bother To bring a gift for me. I hope your helpers find each child Wherever he might be. Please take away his sorrows And dry up all his tears. Please give him a great Christmas He'll remember through the years. And if you need some help, Santa, There are good folks all about, Who would fill his stocking for you, If you just gave tham a shout. I would have my heart's desire And my fondest wishes too If not one child on Earth was missed. Each has a gift from you. Written: December 21,12
