Santa Loves You

It’s your turn… Come to Santa, my dear If only for a minute Forget life is often cruel And you are hungry Forget your sadness, little one Believe if only for a short reprieve In the magic of Christmas That dreams can come true That you too deserve a happy home Find it in your heart the joy to smile And trust in miracles for that one minute Free of fears that weigh you down… Santa has a present for you Perhaps the only one you’ll get this year There’s no justice in the world Santa’s smile really hides Santa’s tears A collaboration with the very talented Line Gauthier posted on July 17, 2019

Even a little bit of fantasy can help escape the sometimes harsh reality of life, even for children Well written Timothy and Line. Tom. PS, the last line is fine.

I really don't remember giving the OK on that last line about your collaborator, Timothy! Besides, you get most of the credit... and you wear the Santa suit.
