Dear Santa

Creeping down the chimney
Came Santa with a smile
I pretended to be sleeping
So he might stay a while

Watched him stacking presents
Prayed he wouldn't go
Before he ate the cookies
I had to say hello

I said, I'm sorry Santa
Wasn't good this year
Just wanted you to know
Before you disappear

He said, now listen Jenny
You try your very best
Nobody is perfect
But truly I'm impressed

You came to say you're sorry
But Santa knows you are
I see what you are feeling
Even from afar

Save your words my child
For the ones you love
It's they, who need to hear them
And what you're thinking of

He hugged me with a warmth
I've never felt before
Then I woke up in my bed
A present on my floor

Unraveled came the ribbon
The note said, "Just for you"
I wondered what could be inside
This little box of blue

As I opened up the box
My heart began to race
Love poured out into the air
Christmas found its place

Inside my heart and in my home
Just where it should be
Love enchanting everything
We touch but cannot see
