Dear God
Dear God,
If I could have a Christmas wish
It would be of a selfless gift.
A wish full of love, hope and faith.
That one day my dad is saved.
His lungs are shutting down by the day
And his liver is toast you see.
His skin is a yellowish color
And he has lost a lot of weight.
I understand he did this to himself,
But please lord I need your help.
Surrounded by candles on this night
He is too weak to continue to fight.
I can see the pain in his eyes.
The look of hopelessness he is trying to hide.
Please lord do you hear my cry?
For my dad to survive,
If I could have a Christmas wish
It would be for my dad to live.
