My Christmas Wish

Without hesitation I greeted them sweetly excited

Presents at the floor and kids at the door

Sweets and gifts were dropped to the children's hands

As they sing every chorus line of the Christmas song

Seeing smiles and laughs and hearing thank you's matters to me

I realized the true meaning of this season

My dad looked at me and said "Boy, well done!"

Crying and holding his cold hand was more

For me to shed a tear and now hear

The feeling of his beating heart slowly deteriorating

My wish, my wish, I remembered that I have a wish...
