When I was a little girl, Christmas rarely came
The magical idea of Santa was not part of our game
My parents moved us around from town to town
The thought of toys and games made them frown
I believed in Santa Claus, always wished he'd show
To bring me a doll, a pretty dress, maybe even snow
We never had a Christmas tree, no holly on the door
We've even slept through Christmas eve on a beach shore
When I was a young teen, my father passed away
I wanted to tell him, so many words left for me to say
Our life with my father was not an easy one
Angry with fists, he spoke through battles never won
My mother followed in this path of hate
I don't think she started out in that state
My father taught her cruelty and meanness
It was hard to escape both of their messes
I tried to bring some cheer and hope to her
She rudely declined both as I feared
I stayed near her, by her side when she passed
I felt a river of emotions until my heart crashed
I always felt there was no good to me
I would hide away, never let the world see
I learned this from my parents, trash I was
I didn't belong with normal people, just because
It took me some time to work through the damage
There are still remnants of that pain at this age
I found out there was a Santa Claus through my kids
I've felt the wonder and joy when opening that lid
Christmas time no longer brings me a sense of dread
I know some of what to feel, from books I've read
Through my grandkids, I've found love and family embrace
Guess I can say I"m ready to join the normal human race
