What Do You Want for Christmas?... to grant me some private space . . . tickets to some far-off exotic place . . . What do you want for ... to dress me to paint the town red . . . silk sheets to wrap me when I Headphones to grant me some private space . . . tickets to some far-off exotic place . . . Clothing to dress me to paint the town red . . . silk sheets to wrap me when I go to bed . . . Harry Potter’s a good one . . . the kids will go wild . . . And I love him too, ‘cause I’m really a child . . . There’s camera equipment, that’s sure to appeal . . . there’s software galore at really good deals . . . I look in my closets, I look at my house, there’s nothing I need, . . . no, not even a mouse . . . Would it matter, I wonder, if there under the tree, was a wee tiny package all wrapped up for me, and when opened, ‘twas empty, no present I’d see . . . just a feeling of peace and . . . serenity. And maybe compassion, wrapped up with a bow, a gentle enfolding so really I’d know what could and what couldn’t, what is and what ain’t. Just some understanding. (I won’t be a saint.) It’s asking too much, now, to ask for world peace, but on my list it’s up there, that wars may soon cease. And justice, for children, that all may be fed, and wanted, and cuddled and tucked into bed. The economy needs us, or so we’ve been told . . . spending our dollars in purchases bold . . . but still, in the silence of this holy night, I know what I want most is not sold with bright lights. What I deeply need is to set aside fear, to let myself reach out in this coming year . . . to know with my heart the whole world as my kin . . . that Love may be born , and Peace may begin. © Maureen Killoran Source: Free Articles from ArticlesFactory.com
