My Letter To Santa
November 25, 2008


Dear Santa,
 I have read many letters today from folks far away,
They’re not asking for much to fulfill their day,
They ask for food and shelter and love,
They’re keeping their faith in God above.

I’m trying real hard to help those I can,
So many are hurting, they need a helping hand.
My husband just smiles and says do what you can,
I tell you dear Santa, he’s one hell of a man.

But I know there’s only so much we can do,
So I am asking that you help me take care of a few.
Help fill their stockings with peace here on earth,
Start their new year with a new found birth.

May things look brighter in days that lay ahead,
May they enjoy the season instead of it being a dread.
I don’t need anything for me Santa this year,
Give it to others, that only seems fear.

Keep them warm and out of the cold overnight,
Fill their stomachs with food, make them smile bright.
Find them a family a place to call home,
Don’t let them be lost and feeling alone.

Let them know that others really do care,
Help them dear Santa not to shed another fallen tear,
Just one wish would help see most of them through,
Food, shelter and peace in our world to mention a few.

Now I’ll say a prayer for all who are in a needy way,
That help will come to you on this blessed day.
Never lose faith, for Help will be there,
From some dear heart, to show that they care.

I’ve been a good girl all year long,
Helping others can’t be all that wrong.
I'll even forget I asked for that home,
In Nova Scotia so I can again roam.

I know I can find a nice place to live,
Whatever the cost Santa, just give, give, give.
Though Santa I'll ask for one thing this year,
Help me to help others, not shed another fallen tear.
