TO: THE NORTH POLE



Dear Santa,
Hope you don't think me extreme,
To ask for things seen only in dreams.
No gadgets or toys beneath the tree,
I know that it's magic you can bring me.

With twirling, bouncing fireballs to play.
I'll taste chocolate planets and drink milky way.
Riding rockets of candy and space ships that boom,
I'll rest on cloud mattress on Marshmallow moons.

If not too much trouble, for all kids can this be?
Too lonely I'd be if the fun's just for me.
You too would enjoy the season so merry
Not having to read nor letter nor querry.

As so well you know, we're all naughty and nice
Why not give happiness, you know there's no price.
Something extraordinary's what I'd like to see
The laughter of children. Imaginations free.

Sincerely,
Hopeful Kid

P.S. No job will you have once you grant me my wish

You can play, romp or eat or just sit and catch fish.

  1. Loved this fanciful imagination that came from a person whose heart is very much child-like. Myrna, this piece unravels your personality, which I am so glad to know.

    Glad that you are around.

    Joy always,
    Susan

  17. dear Myrna, sorry I am behind reading your great posts - it has been a hectic time! - I love the innocence and candid words of this kid! If only kids can remain like that longer... if we could be more like kids forever.

  18. I love it. Asking for happiness for Christmas is so cool because that's all any of us really desire in the first place!

  19. This is fantastic! Love the imagery & really love the shift into happiness....to be able to grant that wish! This time of year is the hardest at work, all the gifts in the world don't change abuse/neglect or the separation from parents. Thanks for the smile & have a wonderful holiday!
