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.

Myrna,
ReplyDeleteIn all its innocence, the kid would be aptly rewarded. Santa has a way of picking out. Beautiful piece!
Beautiful childhood innocence, dreams of fantasy and fun. Lovely rhymes.
ReplyDeleteWhat an adorable and honest piece :-) Great job with the rhymes too.
ReplyDeleteMerry Christmas!
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.
ReplyDeleteI love it. Asking for happiness for Christmas is so cool because that's all any of us really desire in the first place!
ReplyDeleteThis 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!
