Santa's List

Santa's List

Dusty frosted jingle bells
lie over on the shelf
as concentration lingers
on the face of this old elf.

A pipe straight in the corner
of his slightly curled smile
as this elf of Christmas Wonder
studies the list awhile.

He checks each name and chuckles
as he remembers when
he was a boy and played himself
those same tricks now and then.

There's Johnny from the south of France
and Melanie from Spain
Brenda is from Belgium
and Tommy wants a train.

But Suzie has a special wish
that cannot be wrapped with gold
her name is small on this long list
but stands out big and bold.

The list now seems much smaller
with the tasks he must perform.
Its Suzie's wish that captures him
as he snuggles safe and warm.

She wishes for the freedom
of those who are oppressed
and understands why Daddy
is on a special quest.

She sends a small "I'm sorry"
for such a selfish wish
but she wants her Daddy safe at home
by the lake where they can fish.

A tear slides down the cheek
of this elf who knows the score;
that her Daddy touched on heaven today,
a fallen hero in this war.
