Dear Santa,
could you please
bring me
just one special
gift on
Christmas eve
It will truly be
the greatest gift
I ever will receive
I’m still a kid
inside my heart
and in you I still believe
that you can keep me
from my grief
come Christmas Morn
and ease my heart
left so forlorn
and heal my weary
spirit that’s been torn.....
I know that you
are magical
you can make
your reindeer fly
and your massive
girth conquers
chimineys each
and every
time you try
you’ve always
been so timeless
when you're sailing
through the sky
Plus there's no
one else to ask
you are the only guy
and though my gift
request is hard
you would never
question why??
you would never
question why??
It requires
nothing physically
just stop by briefly
and visit me
sprinkle some
of your magic seeds
across my imagination
let them instantly
fulfill my needs
send me back into
the distant past
fill my soul
with pure elation.
it would only
take a minute
of your time
if you are patient
I want to see my
Mom and Dad again
cause they’ve
both been gone
since way back when
I have so much I’d
like to say to them
send me back through
times eternal bends.....
let me see my
fondest friends
I want to hold
my mother close
back on those Christmas
days that I miss most
telling her how
much I love her so
since I lost her oh,
so long ago.
I want to taste my
Father’s home baked ham
that he cooked for hours
in a well-greased pan
and let him know that
he is the greatest man
that I have ever known.
Just put some
magic sleep
dust in my eyes
let me wake up
to a huge surprise
where’ll I’ll get
to spend one
more Christmas day
as you grant my wish
and then let me stay
Though I know it
might seem selfish
after all you
are quite elfish
full of powers
that could grant me
Just a one-time
pass to see
all of my
sorely missed,
cherished family
who have been
denied to me.
You could start
a new tradition
as you leave your
endless toys
to all the girls and boys
who behaved all year
could you also bring
their parents cheer?
stop for a moment
by their bedsides
and send them back
in time on a
magical ride
to visit all
the love one’s
who have moved on
in a lovely dream
till the break of dawn
It would be a
blessing for everyone.
for everyone......
Otherwise leave me
fresh memories
that cruel time's
eroded from me sadly
cause I’m getting old,
I’m no longer wee
Give me just one gift
that I long to see
Filled up with long
lost sounds and sights
of the folks I love
setting my heart right
let it fill my mind
as I hold them tight
bring me true joy please
on this Christmas night.
And if you can’t
of course
I’ll understand
it is truly a rather,
huge demand
Just bring underwear
and socks as planned
It’s a practical gift
like my parents gave
way back when
I was just a kid’
It’ll make me smile
just remembering
How much I hated
those presents
beneath each lid
beneath each lid.
Then as you sail away
into the starry night
wish all my loved ones
who are bathed
in more heavenly light
a Merry Christmas
from their long lost child
I’ll be grateful… Santa
because I’ll know
they've all smiled
from across times
many distant miles
and that will have to
do for now.
That will have
to do for now..........
