Dear Santa

Dear Santa,
Sorry it’s been so long
But I’m all grown up now
And they told me you were long gone
Maybe I’m just grasping at straws here
Oh but Santa dear, it’s been such a crappy year
And I just can’t seem to find my Christmas cheer
Stars are twinkling and Carolers singing
And I just want to hate them all
Gotta leave here soon and pick out presents
For people I don’t like much, at the mall
Please if you’re there just give me a sign
I’m so in need of a fresh start
Give me a reason to ring in the season
And rekindle joy in my heart
After a long day of hustle and bustle
I nestled myself in my bed
Visions of sales signs and belligerent drunks
Dancing around in my head
I awoke to a sound, got up looked around
And found a note by under the tree…
Dear little one,
I have been here all along
I gave you the gift of song
And then I brought you all these friends who’d sing along
Remember my girl you are special in this world
Never lose your gaze or your spark
Hold on to your hopes and you will always carry joy in your heart
Christmas is here and it’s the time of year
When you can be a kid again
Now get out my dear
And go spread some cheer
And keep it with you all year round
Love Santa
Love Santa
P.S.
