Dear Santa, if you really do exist
There are places you have missed
Places without love or joy
Where children don’t have any toy
Where war and death are the rule
Where life is cheap and cruel
It would be nice if for a change
You could try to re-arrange
The GPS directions on your sleigh
To search and find a way
To include these children in your list
I’m not just asking, I insist
Alleviate the hurt and pain
Help to lessen fear and strain
I can honestly assure
All it takes is a small detour
A little bit of time well spent
That would not make any dent
In your scheduled delivery run
But spread happiness and fun
Deliver the Christmas ghost
To children who need it most

Would that it could be, Fred! Blessings on the children of the world who struggle this Christmas.
I apologize for the late response. Somehow missed thanking everybody for their very much appreciated comments! I guess with the Holidays, I must have gotten a bit confused. Could also be old age! In any case, thank you very much, all of you!!!
No need for the apology Fred. With the Holidays comes a very busy schedule and not enough time to do everything in a timely manner. Hope your New Year finds you with a pen with much to say.
Beautiful, caring, loving, and heartfelt sentiments for all the innocent children in the world who are suffering! Thank you Fred for this awesome write!
