There was never any question Of what Annies' wish would be She climbed upon his waiting lap And smiled up at him so sweet There is only one thing on my list A special wish you see Santa all I want this Christmas Day Is for you to bring mommy back to me She went to heaven a month ago And ever since that night My daddy's eyes are full of tears Even when I hold him tight I dont know how to make him smile To take his hurt away Except for mommy to be there come Christmas Day I haven't been a real good girl But Santa I promise I will try I'll make my bed and clean my room And I promise not to lie So keep the bike and dolly And all the other toys These things I learned are nothing They cant bring me any joy I'll leave you milk and cookies And even carrots by our tree So you can rest in where its warm But please bring mommy back to me She looks up in the old mans eyes And sees the truth on his tear stained face Her little shoulders tremble And she looks about the place At all the other parents Suddenly holding their children tight Then her eyes fall on the nativity With its star shining so bright I guess I really shouldnt ask For something even God couldnt do So I'll say goodbye Santa please dont cry Merry Christmas to you. |

Paula, this poem is simply a perfect little slice of love put to beautiful words. Very touching; you should post this to the main site. It would also make a beautiful card. Well done - Jeff Osborne |

Well...it's hard to write when the tears are falling; but this is very touching; you've expressed it very, very well  Pepper "I honor the place in you, that when you are in that place, and I am in that place in me, we are in the same place" Ram Dass |

All I can do is sit and cry. Only the innocence of a child can do this. I will now go and read Annies Prayer. You have hit a very soft spot in my heart. |
