Christmas Came In July

Dear Santa Clause

This letter may come as surprise
I know it’s not December
There’s no Christmas in July
But I feel so happy
I feel I could cry
Mommy’s cured of cancer
When we all thought she would die

So the presents, the ones that I asked you to bring!
Give them to someone special
Best gift was having mommy home again

And Santa...
If you not too busy, give this message to my friends
Say hello to Dasher, Dancer, Prancer, Vixen, Comet, Cupid, Donner and Blixem...   Please tell Rudolph I miss him 
And can hardly wait to see him again

Thank you so much, Mr. Santa Clause
Excuse the teardrops that fell from my eyes
I'm just so happy
Christmas came in July

I'll miss you so much this Christmas....

You wrote an amazing poem. There are no words which would describe all my feelings about it. Magnificent is the only which close. You created an amazing metaphor.
