A CHILD AGAIN



Let me be a child again

if only for this night;

let me feel excitement as

I gaze upon the lights,

placing shiny presents

in perfect order every day;

let me be the perfect angel

so that Santa comes my way!



Let me breathe the sweet aroma

of tarts and apple pie,

and watch red candles burning,

and gifts with big red ties.

Let me listen to the voices

of carolers on the lawn,

and dream of brand new Christmas toys

as I await the dawn.



Let me listen for the footsteps

of the reindeer as they light,

and know that I hear Santa

dashing off into the night

**

And...Mama...if you hear me...

please hold me close once more,

and whisper "Merry Christmas"

as you softly close my door...
