SANTA CAN YOU HEAR ME?

 

Santa can you hear me

all I want this year

Is for this selfish war to end

and have my family near

***

I miss my wife and children

making angels in the snow

Holding my wife and kissing

underneath the mistletoe

***

Santa can you hear me

before it gets too late

My family really needs me

this war will have to wait

***

In my pocket is a picture

of my kids and wife

To be with them this Christmas

I would gladly give my life

***

Santa can you hear me

through the missile blast

Just to spend another Christmas

with them is all I ask

***

The Christmas lights are blinking

their lighting up the skies

Santa can you hear me

before another soldier dies

***

This made me cry.. I was very close to two soldiers not too long ago that lost their lives around Christmas time. This is so sad, and yet you always manage to make even the saddest, most tragic experiences beautiful through your words.
