A Childs Christmas Prayer
By Paul Wilson


There was an old man
Saint Nick was his name
With a bunch of raindeer he ran
Christmas was his game

All around the world
He would fly with sleigh and raindeer
Bringing toys to each boy and girl
On Christmas Eve year after year

Cookies and milk for Saint Nick
Left on table by the tree
Surly these treats will do the trick
A special gift from Saint Nick to me

Time to close your eyes little one
Sleep sweet and dream of toys and things
This magic night of dreams just begun
Saying prayers of thanks for what Saint Nick brings

A noise is heard down the hall
Slipping out of bed to see what could it be
There by the tree standing tall
Jolly old Saint Nick putting presents under tree

Not a sound did I make
Slipping back into bed
Drifting off to dream till I awake
This prayer before falling to sleep I said

Saint Nick one present please keep
For those that don’t have any
Please don’t let them weep
Presents from you I have many

Paul, I don't know how I missed this yesterday. I always look for your excellent poetry. (unless it got moved down the page before I got back on here last night)
Anyway, I love to read your poems, because I can tell that they come from your heart and have a gentle and compassionate feel to them. This one is just as caring and loving as the other ones. I love it.
