Dear Santa

Christmas day
come and gone
I haven't written to Santa in years
no wonder he wasn't listening
boxes with ribbon
bows and ties
green, red and gold
I feign my smile
but inside
I am disappointed
Christmas day
come and gone
I dream-
Dear Santa
but then you already know
always have
perhaps it's not time
I shall wait
how much longer
I do not know-
I leave it to you
giggling excited
little girl
but not anymore
but you already know that
Dear Santa
how can I ever thank you
no ribbons
no bows
no ties
in green, red or gold
a day late
how can I care
when you got it so right
standing there
as I dreamed
he was...
