Dear Santa,

Christmas time is coming 
there's so much that I wish. 
Not for me, Dear Santa,
but for those upon this list:

1. I have a house, dear Santa, 
but there are those without a home. 
Please give them one for Christmas, 
one they can call their own.

2. There are children who have toys 
and a place to rest their heads. 
Please give to those who don't, 
some fine toys and some warm beds.

3. My table will be adorned with food, 
on this fine Christmas Day. 
Please give food to those who hunger 
they must not whither away.

4. I have clothes upon my back 
to keep me warm and dry. 
But, there are some with clothes 
so old and worn, they simply can't get by.

5. I'll have a Christmas tree 
with lovely lights that blink in time. 
Please give a tree to others, 
so they see the glorious shine.

6. But most of all, dear Santa, 
I have a love within my heart. 
Please give the gift of Love 
to those who need a brand new start !

PS. I'll leave extra cookies out for you this year.
