Santa's Letter

Last night as I was setting up the tree, Our six year old son came up to me. He said, "Mommy, I need a stamp because, I want to mail this letter to Santa Claus." Only six years old and just learning to spell. He tried his best, it came out quite well. He asked for a car, a train and a bike, And all of the things that little boys like. Then he signed his name, with a little PS, That brought a tear to my eye and a pain to my chest. As I stood there reading that crayon letter, I fought back my tears, for I knew better, Than to show him the impact of the words that he wrote, As he ended his letter with this little note, "Santa, I know money is short this year, So all I really want is my Daddy to be here."
