My Christmas Wish

A poem about my Christmas wish for us all.

Let me share with you
My Christmas wish
It's not for a new car,
Cat or a fish

It's not for shoes
Though mine are old
It's not for diamonds,
Silver or gold

It's not for games
Or shiny new toys
It's not for drums
That make lots of noise

It's not for a horse
Or a cute little phone
It's not for a bike
Or a new saxophone

It's not for a mansion
With 300 rooms
It's not for silk sheets
Or fine perfumes

It's not for a television
To hang on the wall
It's not for a Canoe
Or a new basketball

It's not for money
To fill up my stocking
It's not for a new chair
That will never stop rocking

It's for peace on earth
And heed the angels' call
To remember the one
Who started it all

It's for poor little girls
And poor little boys
To get what they need
And throw in some toys

It's for families to mend
And to forget who was wrong
And remember to forgive
Because our time here's not long

It's for each of us to have
Christmas spirit every day
And to hold Christ in our heart
So we will never stray

This is my Christmas wish
That I share with you
So God Bless you all
And Merry Christmas too!
