The Christmas Wish

My mommy left me one day and she can no longer play, she has ran away to cancer, I know that’s where she’ll stay. Of all the things I remember there is one I Know I'll miss, that is going in her room that night for one last goodnight kiss. My daddy looks at her picture, I always see him cry, I know he can’t find her, but I am afraid he might try. Mommy was always helping people, always did what she said was right, if someone ever said they needed her she’d try with all her might. Every night Mommy would sit with me, and from the bible she would read, she would tell me of God and Jesus, and of every one of their good deeds. There are many presents this year sitting under the tree, I know from looking at them that they are all there for me. I try and be like mommy now, remember what she said, so I don’t want the presents, I want to wish instead. I don’t know if I can make this wish, but I’ll try if I may, God all I want is Daddy happy again, if even just a day.
