My Grown-Up Christmas List
Do you remember me?
I sat upon your knee;
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies.
Dear Santa Clause,
I have been extra good this year.
Please bring me a new blue bike, a Frumpy teddy bear, Chutes and Ladders and a Fisher Price Baby Ann doll.
And please bring my sister the Baby Jenny doll and my brother Baby Joey.
Merry Christmas to Mrs. Clause and the reindeer.
(did the elves seem like evil clowns to anyone besides me?)
Well, I'm all grown-up now,
And still need help somehow.
(can you still help somehow?)
I'm not a child,
But my heart still can dream
The dream is simple. A farm for animal rescue. It doesn't really matter if they are ever placed in other homes, we'll keep them all and take care of them. With family and friends that visit all the time. A door that's always open.
So here's my lifelong wish,
So here's my lifelong wish,
My grown-up Christmas list.
Not for myself,
But for a world in need.
Understanding. Tolerance. Unity. Optimism. Honesty. Kindness and Forgiveness.
Understanding. Tolerance. Unity. Optimism. Honesty. Kindness and Forgiveness.
No more lives torn apart,
That wars would never start,
And time would heal all hearts.
And everyone would have a friend,
And right would always win,
And love would never end.
This is my grown-up Christmas list.
Friendships that really are lifelong.
Friendships that really are lifelong.
Being true to yourself.
Counting your blessings.
Recognizing all the free gifts with which you were born.
Making time. Making up. Making your way.
As children we believed
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree.
Well heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul.
Helping a stranger.
Helping a stranger.
Pursuing happiness.
Teaching a child something...anything.
Learning something new...anything.
Knowing who you are and being proud of who that is.
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth?
Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.
Faith.
Love.
Peace.
Happiness.
“And I'll tell you from my heart
I wish you Merry Christmas"
I wish you Merry Christmas"
Merry Chrismas
