Operation: Christmas Child

Sounds of children laughing Singing and having a good time Is almost like a fairy-tale But this time, it's mine. The little ones are laughing and smiling Almost as hard as the youth do Together, we know we'll make a difference One little kid's dream will come true. We're doing something special for the world So others can live with love So we are giving just a few boxes of stuff Almost like a little treasure trove. Operation:Christmas Child How it brings smiles to my eyes To see all this hard work To help a few little lives. Bailey comes and takes my hand, "Kristen, come here and see! We've wrapped boxes full of toys For little children like me!" Given so unselfishly, These children donate so much Not only gifts, but unconditional love A hug and a warm touch. We stuff the boxes full of toys And wrap them one by one Soon, we have finished All the boxes are done. But we don't want to leave yet We're having so much fun So we hold hands and begin to sing Our voices blending to become one. We sing together for a while Then we must break up to go home But we know we'll still be there And our voices will carry on. So I go to bed this night With happy tears in my eyes Grateful for Operation:Christmas Child That boosts so many little lives.
