Snowflakes sofly falling,
upon your window play,
your blanket snug around you,
into sleep you drift away.
I bend down to gently kiss you,
when I see that on the floor,
there's a letter,neatly written,
I wonder who it's for.
I quietly unfold it,
making sure your still asleep,
It's a christmas list to santa--
one my heart will always keep.
It started just as always,
with the toys seen on tv,
a new watch for your father,
and a winter coat for me.
but as my eyes read on,
I could see that deep inside
there were many things you wished for
that your loving heart would hide.
you asked if your friend molly
could have another dad,
It seems her father hits her
and it makes you very sad.
then you asked dear santa
if the neighbours down the street
could find a job,that he might have
some food,and clothes and heat.
you saw a family on the news
whose house had blown away
"dear santa,send them just one thing,
a place where they could stay."
"and santa those four cookies
that I left you for a treat,
could you take them to the children
who have nothing else to eat ?"
"do you know that little bear I have--
the one I love so dear ?
I'm leaving it for you to take
to africa this year."
"and as you fly your reindeer
on this night of jesus' birth,
could your magic bring to everyone
good will and peace on earth ?"
"there's just one thing before you go--
so greatful I would be--
If you'd smile at baby jesus
In the manger,bye our tree."
I pulled the letter close to me,
I felt It melt my heart
those tiny hands had written
what no other could impart.
"and a little child shall lead them,"
was whispered in my ear
as I watched you sleep on christmas eve
while sants claus was here.
