Written whilst listening to the gentle lull of a piano
Oh how I wish I was a child again
waking in the night full of hope and then
wishing for the gifts that I have put on my list
wanting to run and laugh and be kissed
My face would reveal my awe
my face would say thank you and so much more
the joy that is for Christmas Day
the innocence of a child, the smile that I portray
~~~~~~~
The tip toe of a child in the morn
gazing upon the tree decorations that adorn
the twinkle that crosses upon their face
the excitement..the anticipation of… I cannot wait
Christmas is for children to see the happiness it brings
the pleasure and the eagerness..makes our grown hearts sing
for Christmas is a special time that adults hold in their heart
the love that hugs us from within that can’t be torn apart
Grasp the bauble from the tree my little one
do you see the colours as it spins?
scrunch the wrapping paper and watch me melt at your wide grin
this is the day for you my child… I wish to be young again
To have these happy memories though I have some of my own
I take a backward glance… see me as a child and feel the way you do now
bring your laughter to the house on Christmas Day
so that I can relive this joy… so that I too may feel this way
Any child at Christmas, though they may not be your own
have a smile a simplicity that’s a wonder to behold
so share with any child if you can the day that holds this delight
clutch at the happiness that they share…embrace and hold them tight
I wish I was a child again
