"God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference."

Dear Santa,



Dear Santa, the man full of Christmas cheer,

I'm finding I have a new wish list this year.
I'm not asking for clothes or books or a toy,
This year I am asking for a unique kind of joy.
One that doesn't come wrapped up with a bow,
One that you can't buy or order or sew.
I'm asking for peace and content in my heart,
I'm asking for patience and for a fresh start.
I'm asking for love, both to give and to take,
I'm asking for laughter and memories to make.
I hope I'm not pushing or toeing the line, 
I just want some happiness this Christmastime.
Dear Santa, I hope you'll know just what to do.
Please, dear Santa, I am counting on you.
Love, 
Kelsey

and, now Kiri too. 

My dear friend wrote this poem recently. Her and I share a brain. which means I love this, and back it up, 100%. 

Merry soon-to-be Holidays everybody :)
