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>
