Santa’s Children

All year long San­ta is busy
watch­ing all the girls and boys
work­ing out which chil­dren
are deserv­ing of San­ta’s toys

See San­ta’s toys aren’t plas­tic
or the flesh and blood you feel
San­ta gift is spir­it
for the soul to take to heal

But some of San­ta’s chil­dren
suf­fered trau­ma deep inside
that any ray of sun­shine
they feel they have to hide

but San­ta learned a les­son
all those years ago
that a smile can beat the hatred
and make spir­it waters flow
