Cynthia Alvez Poet Dramatic Verse

Santa Please Write My Mama a Letter For Me

Santa, please write a letter to my mama for me.
Make it short and sweet, like the honey in her tea.
Could you tell her that I love her in the letter, and
Sir,
tell her I appreciate all she does to make my life
better...
Santa, please, would you write my mama a letter?

Tell her I am sorry for every tear I made fall from
her eyes.
Tell her that I am sorry for those awful pack of
lies...the ones she said nearly broke her heart...
Tell her I never thought I could also hurt from
the pain I brought to her life,
because of me, she said she had failed as a
mother and a wife...

But it is no so, tell her so she will know it wasn't
her fault pop up and left one Christmas morning,
long before the sun had come up...
Santa, he took your cookies and milk,
leaving a note saying that his cup
had just run over and over...

Santa, in the letter for my mama, please
tell her that I had to leave but I'll be back
some day,
but right now it is best if I just go away...
Time to grow up and stand on my own,
tell her I know God will be with her and
She won't be alone.

I pray God will continue to bless her and hold her 
in his loving care,
I left you some more milk and cookies Santa,
In the living room, when you get there.
I am no longer angry because you didn't come
when I was a little child,
You and my pop have been gone for a long,
long while.

Now Santa, my mama's house is at the end
of the road,
with one lone candle in the window upstairs,
so when my pop comes back, he'll know that she still cares.
Santa, please write my mama a letter and
tell her its from the one she said she'd love
forever and ever,
No matter what!
Signed your friend, who now sees the light.

P.S. Santa, would you please tie the letter to my mama, with a big red bow and seal it with a kiss from the kid you forgot one Christmas, long ago.
