Description “For Christmas”
11/22/07

In regards to what I want this year,
I know I haven’t been the best,
But I hope you’ll take a minute,
To consider my request.

I know I’ll receive plenty of gifts,
All I want and much more than I need,
But it’s this list of desires for better days,
That I really want you to read.

First I ask you to help my mom,
For she suffers so much pain,
I wish for just one day for her,
Where she can feel healthy again.

Bless my father and all his sorrows,
He’s had a troublesome year,
His mother died this past July,
And I know he shed a tear.

My little brother is sixteen,
But his illness makes him lose track,
Please help him feel our love,
And fight the things that hold him back.

Take care of all the friends I’ve made,
In everything they do,
This special time of year I hope,
Gives them the happiness they are due.

There is one thing I ask for,
Just one important plea,
Could you please give my love to him?
And bring him home to me.

I want him to know now,
The place he holds in my heart,
And how it slowly kills me,
Every day we are apart.

For Christmas all I ask,
Is that my family and friends be blessed,
And that he’ll come home to me,
That’s all that I request.

Merry Christmas,
Lauren

This is a pretty deep poem. I can't help but to feel sorry for your family. I was thinking. This could be a great letter to God. Instead of Santa, try writing to Jesus.

I decided to change it and just make it a straight poem/prayer.

Well, though it is impossible to know when Jesus' birthday really is, it has been widely accepted among many Christians that 25th December is the day to celebrate Jesus' coming. So, it is kind of ideal to ask for such thing especially on Chritsmas.

Very true; I decided just to make it a wishlist/prayer kind of poem. It seems most fitting. It would be more directed to God though.

Thank you...and I was going to change it to that, but then it wouldn't really make sense to be a Christmas letter...even though that's what Christmas is all about... *shrug*
