Dear Santa,

I write this letter, and by the cookies I do place
so hopefully you will see
what is written on this pages face.
You can take my presents back,
I don't need any this year.
If you would grant one Christmas wish
among all the holiday cheer.

I lost my friend this year.
We buried her and her mommy Christmas Eve.
Mommy's tried to explain to me
Why they had to leave.
In this festive season
When friends and family meet,
and even strangers receive
A very friendly greet.

I know you aren't normally
the one to take people home.
But please, I ask, for this once
Will you please take some?
She is a very special friend,
One I've never had before.
One who never asked much of me
and will now ask no more.

Her mommy wasn't very rich
they were very very poor,
and their trailer was so cold that many times,
they showed up at the door,
thread-bare were their mits, and clothing,
and they shivvered were they stood.
We'd bring them inside, and they'd stand before the fire
and warm up as best they could.

But they were very rich Santa,
She always told me that,
and they would travel far an wide
at a single drop of a hat.
They're favorite place was Arabia,
where they would have IceCream and look over the sand
And they were never cold there
as they gazed over the land.

I asked how they could do this,
how they had so much fun.
And her mommy smiled down at me,
and said they used their imagination.
That no matter how much money they had,
even if it were none,
and no one could ever keep them
from their vacation in the sun.

but now the sun is gone for them;
we buried them in the ground.
and I put their presents in with them
where I hoped they would be found.
'Cause I'm sure that even angels
can open presents they receive
even if they were given
to the bodies they had to leave.

My Christmas wish Dear Santa,
I trade my presents for
Is you take my friend and her mommy
very very far.
And take them to Arabia,
where they have dreamed an then,
let them have lots of Ice Cream,
and never be cold again.
