A Christmas Wish



I snuggled down into the quilt
And held my teddy bear tight.
I shut my eyes and tried to sleep
On that wondrous Christmas night.

I wanted to see Santa Claus
When he came into my house.
I laid as still as still could be;
Becoming quiet as a mouse.

I left a note on the window sill;
I printed it nice and clear;
It meant so very much to me
Telling Santa my wish that year.

My wish was a very simple one;
It was Santa I wanted to see;
I wanted to watch as he put our gifts
Under the Christmas tree.

I heard the reindeer on the roof
And Santa's " HO, HO, HO".
Quietly leaving my warm safe bed;
Down the stairs we two did go.

Yes, I got my wish by seeing him;
It made my heart so glad;
But it was a bit surprising
For he looked just like my Dad!
