Dear Santa

Dear Santa, 

Can you help me? I desperately need a Go Back/Do Over button for Christmas. 

You see Santa, I have been very bad and I've  come to realize the hurt and pain I have caused with my hate words of prejudice, jealousy and indifference. The tears caused by my cold heart and my bad habit of putting myself and my needs above everyone and everything. 

So please Santa, make for me that device so I can go back and do over all those times I made people cry, ashamed, angry, feel insignificant, hated and worthless. Help me Santa restore those souls, dry up those tears, and restore the pride I robbed and take back the hurt they did not deserve.  

And maybe Santa, just maybe, if I can go back and help them, it will help me too...

A worthy request. Just make sure sure you choose the right Christmas spirit this year. A poem is a good Christmas gift. I put one with the cards I still send out. Well written piece by the way. Regards David in NZ
