Excitement
is growing
As that big day comes closer
My son is waiting patiently
For Old St Nick to appear
He
made his list
Not like most
He wanted a drum set
A guitar and lastly a cho cho train set
We
went to see Santa
On a Saturday afternoon
He climbed up on his lap
And soon told him his wish
Santa
looked at me with a gleam in his eye
Quite surprised at his list
For it was not the usual long list that
a child has in mind
Santa laughed his laugh
And promised to do all he could
We
went home that night
My son still grinning ear to ear
Saying Santa told me he would do his
best
So that Mommy would be able to give
me my list
Soon
the time grew near
Christmas Eve was upon us
My son set out some cookies
added some milk
He was sure Santa would like them
and we all knew he would
Lil
Chi' sat in his rocker
Patiently waiting for his friend
Vowing he would stay up
So he could see him again
He
finally fell asleep
And I carried him to bed
Knowing what he was dreaming
Hoping that Santa would grant him his
wish
Downstairs
I ran
waiting too
And no sooner had I stopped to rest
Did Santa appear
He
carried with him the guitar
The drum set all ready to go
And the cutest little train set
For a lil boy that has been as good
as gold.
