Letter to Santa

Dear Santa Claus,
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee
And spoke to you of childhood fantasies.
Well I'm all grown up now,
But still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream.
So here's my life long wish-
My grown up Christmas list-
Not for myself,
But for a world in need.
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal the heart.
Every one would have a friend,
That right would always win,
And love would never end,
This is my grown up Christmas list.
May kindness rule our lives,
Not just the strong survive,
Sweet tears for the thousand years gone by.
This is the world I pray
We will share someday
Help me begin by reaching out my hand.
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal the heart.
Every one would have a friend,
That right would always win,
And love would never end,
This is my grown up Christmas list.
What is this illusion called
This innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth.
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal the heart.
Every one would have a friend,
That right would always win,
And love would never end,
This is my grown up Christmas list.
This is the year I hope you hear
This is my grown up Christmas List.
Christmas List...
Yours,
Sarah
