My Note To Santa...Please Write A Letter To My Mama Poem by Dorothy (Alves) Holmes

Santa, please write a letter
To my mama for me,
Make it short and sweet,
Like the honey in her tea.
Could you tell her that I love her
In the letter and sir, tell her
I appreciate all she does to make
My life better...
Santa, please, would you write
My mama a letter?

Tell her I am sorry for ever tear
I made fall from her eyes,
Tell her I am sorry for those
Awful pack of lies,
She said nearly broke her heart,
Tell her I never thought
I would also hurt from the pain
I brought to her life,
Because of me, she said she had failed
As a mother and a wife.

It is not so...
Tell her so she will know
It wasn't her fault papa up and left
One Christmas morning, long before
The sun had come up...
Santa, he took your cookies and milk
Leaving a note saying that his cup
Had just run over and over.
Santa, in the letter for my mama, please
Tell her I had to leave, but I'll be back
some day,
But right now it is best if I just
Go away.

Time to grow up and stand on my own,
Tell her I know God will be with her
And she won't be alone.

I pray that God will continue to bless her
And hold her in his loving care,
I left you some more milk and cookies Santa
In the living room, when you get there.
I am no longer angry because you didn't
Come when I was a little child,
You and my pop have been gone for a
Long, long while.

Now Santa, my mama's house is at the
End of the road,
With one lone candle in the window upstairs,
So when mypop comes back, he'll know
She still cares.

Santa please write my mama a letter and
tell her it's from the one she said she'd
Love forever and ever,
No matter what!
Signed Your Friend,
Who now sees the light.
P.S. Santa would you please tie
The letter with a big red bow
And seal it with a kiss from the kid
You forgot one Christmas long ago.
