Dear Santa

Dear Santa,

This year I am not asking you to bring me a list of gifts

This year I have a different type of list

I am not asking you for gifts for me

But gifts for my friends who are more needy

My friend Sally needs some winter boots

The pair she has is full of holes

The snow gets in and then she shivers

Because it freezes all her toes

My friend Bobby is sad this year

His Daddy lost his job

Bring him a new bike so he will smile

It makes me sad to see him sob

Billy’s daddy left his mom

And extra money just isn’t there

All his clothes is worn and patched

So bring him some new clothes to wear

Tina’s parents died last year

The plane they were on suddenly crashed

She lives with her Nanny now

And they are always short of cash

Penny’s little brother is really sick

And I know he is going to die

The only thing I ask of you

Is to keep her brother alive

And to all the boys and girls

Who stay at the orphanage

Please give them a Mommy and Daddy

So they will have a place to live

As for me, Santa, well

I got my gift from God above

I have my friends and family

And a house full of love

So if you pass me by this time

Don’t have any fear

I will have a long list for you

To bring me next year

Thank you Santa,

Zoey
