What do you want for Christmas?
We all have heard the question,
Maybe from a relative
Who needs a good suggestion.
Could be from a parent
Needing clues for Santa Claus.
But it is a question, now,
That causes me to pause!
What do I want for Christmas?
I have all I need.
It seems to me that wanting gifts
Is the height of greed!
Surely there are better things
That I would want to see:
A world that is at last at peace
With everybody free?
No children going hungry?
No homeless sleeping rough?
No blind, no lame, no vulnerable?
No one who’s life is tough?
No senile dementia?
No people dying young?
No disease or cancer?
A new song to be sung?
While I pray for all these things
From the bottom of my heart
I just hope I’ll live to see
Some improvements start!
I have little influence
And very little say,
But this can be my mission:-
I can kneel and pray!
