Toys used to be what I look forward to

When I open gifts

But not now.

I love chocolates and candies

But they are not what I want for Christmas.

I love to shop for clothes

But I feel I have enough of them.

I adore shoes, but I do not want them either.

I have only one wish for Christmas

And it cannot be bought by money.

How I wish I was still a child

Asking Santa for a gift that is affordable.

But, I am not a child anymore.

My Christmas wish is not at all simple -

It is a wish from our Lord this time, not from Santa.

A special time with the ones I love,

Could I please have them back even for a while …

Because they have been with you for years?
