Christmas is now so very near,
But that is not what I wish to hear.
Most kids ask for candy and toys,
Something that I will never be able to enjoy.
When this time of year rolls around,
I try to weep without the slightest sound.
When someone asks me what I want for Christmas,
I can only reply with an answer that is hopeless.
Tears stream down my face,
Before I once again find my place.
Under my breath I finally whisper,
"I wish my father could have lived forever."
Now, Christmas is finally here,
No matter what it may appear.
I solemnly sit there by the blazing fire,
All alone; my only desire.
I know I may seem selfish,
But that will be forever my one and only Christmas wish.
Daddy, I wish you were here with me,
For without you I am always gloomy.
And yet for some reason I was always misread,
For I love you, no matter what was ever said.
