Santa's Short List
Santa brought laughter and Christmas cheer,
but no real JOY was found in his bag_
Santa gave fancy toys to cheerful tots,
but unconditional LOVE was not in his bag_
Santa brought a truce to fighting,
but no lasting PEACE was in his bag_
Santa cruised through the 'hood,
without a shred of HOPE in his bag_
Santa visited the sick, the suffering,
the grieved, the broken-hearted,
but no gift of HEALING was in his bag_
On his way back home,
Santa sailed by the graveyard,
ignoring souls departed__
for LIFE ETERNAL
will never be in his bag.
but no real JOY was found in his bag_
Santa gave fancy toys to cheerful tots,
but unconditional LOVE was not in his bag_
Santa brought a truce to fighting,
but no lasting PEACE was in his bag_
Santa cruised through the 'hood,
without a shred of HOPE in his bag_
Santa visited the sick, the suffering,
the grieved, the broken-hearted,
but no gift of HEALING was in his bag_
On his way back home,
Santa sailed by the graveyard,
ignoring souls departed__
for LIFE ETERNAL
will never be in his bag.
