A CHILDS LETTER TO SANTA




                                    
         
        
        



<p>

Snowflakes softly falling, upon your window they play.<br>

Your blanket is snug around you, into sleep you drift away.<br><br>



I bend to gently kiss you, when I see that on the floor,<br>

There's a letter neatly written, I wonder whom it's for.<br><br>



I quietly unfold it, making sure you're still asleep.<br>

It's a Christmas list for Santa; one my heart will always keep.<br><br>



It started just as always, with the toys seen on TV,<br>

A new watch for your father and a winter coat for me.<br><br>



But as my eyes read on, I could see that deep inside,<br>

There were many things you wished for, that your loving heart would hide.<br><br>



You asked if your friend Molly could have another Dad.<br>

It seems her father hits her, and it makes you very sad.<br><br>



Then you asked dear Santa, if the neighbor down the street,<br>

Could find a job that he might have some food, and clothes, and heat.<br><br>



You saw a family on the news, whose house had blown away.<br>

"Dear Santa, send them just one thing, a place where they can stay."<br><br>



"And Santa, those four cookies, that I left you for a treat,<br>

Could you take them to the children, who have nothing else to eat?"<br><br>



"Do you know that little bear I have, the one I love so dear?<br>

I'm leaving it for you to take to Africa this year".<br><br>



"And as you fly your reindeer, on this night of Jesus' birth,<br>

Could your magic bring to everyone, goodwill and peace on earth?"<br><br>



"There's one last thing before you go, so grateful I would be,<br>

If you'd smile at Baby Jesus, in the manger by our tree."<br><br>



I pulled the letter close to me, I felt it melt my heart.<br>

Those tiny hands had written what no other could impart.<br><br>



"And a little child shall lead them," was whispered in my ear,<br>

As I watched you sleep on Christmas Eve, while Santa Claus was here.<br><br>
