Dear Father Christmas,
bring me the presents
I have always wanted.
Bring me affection
for children,
a smile
for the elderly,
bring me peace
where there is war,
love
where there is hatred.
Bring me sunshine
when it's cold,
water
when there is thirst.
Bring me stars
for those who have no hope,
confidence
for those who don't believe.
Bring me the presents
I have always wanted.
Bring me a master
for the abandoned dog,
a little pity
for the mistreated animals.
Give serenity
if someone has lost it
and joy
to those who've never known it.
Give out hearts
because everybody needs one,
respect
where the powerful
always win,
a friend
for those who have only enemies.
Bring me the presents
I have always wanted
and make every home a place
where it's always Christmas.
