| The sleigh was packed and the
              reindeer fed.. . but still Santa knelt by the side of the bed.
              Dear Father . . .he prayed, Be with me tonight,
              there's much work to do and my schedule is tight.  I must jump in my
              sleigh and streak thru the sky, knowing full well that reindeer
              can't fly! I'll visit each household before the first light, I'll
              cover the world and all in one night!  With sleigh bells
              ringing, I'll land on each roof amid the soft clatter of each
              little hoof. Getting in the house is the difficult part, so I'll
              slide down the chimney of each child's heart.  My sack will hold
              toys to grant all their wishes, the supply endless like the loaves
              and fishes. I will fall from the sky and not leave a track and eat
              every last cookie that is left for a snack . I can do all these
              things Lord, only thru you, I just need your blessing then it's
              easy to do! All this to honor the birth of the One, sent to redeem
              us . . . your most Holy Son.  So to all my
              friends. . . lest your glory I rob, Please Lord remind them who
              gave me this job! |
