One Last Wish

Santa Clause, Santa Clause Please hear me speak This may be my last wish Things are looking bleak My wishes in the past Were always about fun Now with all my heart I have a special one I know it will be tough I'll never ask again But my little boy is dying He's only turning ten Just about a week ago We were in a crash Never saw what hit us It happened in a flash Dad and mom had died My son is here with me I cannot live without him Santa can you see His mom would surely miss him His sister will always cry He has so many friends He's needed more than I If you could talk to God Plead to him my case My one and only wish To let me take his place I have lived a lifetime But his has just begun My wish this year for Christmas Take me in place of my son..
