If I get a home by Christmas can I decorate a tree?

I’ve never had a tree that was my own.

I’ve always spent my Christmas with other kids like me,

In a house where children live that have no home.

I don’t need gifts for Christmas, but a hug would be okay.

I don’t need to sit on Santa Clause’s knee.

But if there really is a Santa, here’s what I’d like on Christmas day;

I’d really like to decorate a tree.

There was a child named Jesus who was born on Christmas day.

I have heard that he was special just like me.

I have heard his lovely stories, the kind words he had to say.

They say he was born to decorate a tree.

I would like to be like Jesus, to do what he would do,

See what he saw and be what he would be.

So don’t give me toys for Christmas, I just want to be like Him.

For Christmas let me decorate a tree.
