Dear Santa, If You Can Hear Me

All I ask is that you bring the gift of love 
to those nearest and dearest to me – 
fill their hearts with the warm glowing feeling that once captured mine
and made it burn brighter than the Bethlehem star!

The kind of love that is the reason to wake,
to face each day anew 
knowing that in your heart another now resides – 
filling it to capacity with an emotion 
that drowns you in a tidal wave of absolute bliss!

The kind of love that is the reason to stand,
to face each challenge thrown at you 
because together you can overcome it all – 
obstacles are then nothing 
but figments of the imagination!

The kind of love that is the reason to live,
to be the most amazing soul
and to encapsulate all that is light – 
to explode in such brightness
that another universe is born!

Dear Santa, if you can hear me…

It does not need any fancy wrapping,
no ornate bow or glittered card – 
just a feeling… only a feeling is all I ask…
