Please Bring Daddy Home

Alyssa was only five Went to the mall with her mom, too. It was just a short drive. She wanted to buy something new. Santa was sitting in his chair She had a letter for him that night Alyssa walked up to say hello Got on his lap and held on tight Santa said, "What is that in your hand?" Alyssa replied, "A letter for only you." "Please don't read it, til we are through." Alyssa had to have her picture taken, too. As she walked away, Santa had to take a break. Went to the back of the store, ate some cookies That Mrs. Santa, made for him she just had to bake Dear Santa, Christmas will soon be here My only wish is you bring daddy home Don't want daddy spending Christmas alone You see Santa, daddy was sent over sea So he could fight for mommy and me Even if its for a little while I promise I will be a good child, too Please make my wish come true By the time he read it, Tears were running down his face That little girl, in the back of his mind He just couldn't erase. Christmas was finally here Alyssa ran down to the tree Nowhere in the house Did her daddy she see She was disappointed, as can be Said, "All I wanted was daddy To be here with me." All of a sudden, she heard a noise She turned around, there daddy stood. Alyssa screamed, "I knew Santa could." "He brought you home to me, like he should." For you that believe there is no Santa You may want to change your mind, too For Alyssa believed in him, Thats why her wish came true.
