Do you remember meThis is from one of many favourite christmas songs ,one I always feel says exactly what I would write to Santa if I were to still write. Christmas is a favourite time of year for me, while the magic has faded it is still a wonderful time filled with positive thoughts and hope.
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you
With childhood fantasies
Well, I'm all grown up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown up christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree
Well heaven only knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal
A hurting human soul
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown up christmas list
I have always asked for world peace, be it a wish at a water fountain or a toast, I stll do. The year the Berlin wall came down I was so happy I cried as I stayed up all night at my dads house and watched the news.
A few months ago you all joined me in making a change in my closet, as a result many others benefited from your gift of giving. It doesn't have to be a big change, a small thing can make a significant difference in the lives of others.. so as we wait for the big guy in red to come, or you celebrate the festival of lights, or any other winter celebration--- remember this feeling of wishing for peace and finding hope.. lets make it our joint effort to support those in need, find the good in others and once in awhile play with the imagination of youth... because all we need is to still believe in each other for the world to change..
I Believe
Live Love Laugh .. BELIEVE
