Christmas Wish
'Twas the night before Christmas
the house was all dark
The grandkids slept soundly
from play in the park
I'd just settled down for
a long peaceful night
Snuggled up tightly
and turned off the light
When out in the kitchen
I heard such a splatter
I sprang to my feet to see
what was the matter
Through open the door fell
flat on my rump
slipping and sliding
I could hardly get up
Whatever had happened
I had not a clue
I crept to the bedroom to
find out just who
Down on his knees
beside his bed
A little boy knelt and I
heard what he said
Dear God I am sorry I
made such a mess
It was all my fault
I do confess
Oh! Oh! God, did You
hear that thud
My name now is
surely Mud
I know that I've been
very bad
but please, oh God, don't
let grandpa be mad
My tummy was growling
I just wanted a drink
But the milk was so high it
fell off the sink
I'll help my grandpa
clean up the floor
and save my pennies to
buy him more
I have only one Christmas
wish this year
I'll whisper it low so only
You can hear
I picked up my boy and
hugged him tight
Tucked him in bed and
said goodnight
When morning came
he set up in bed
And again I listened and
heard what he said
Good morning, God, what
a beautiful day
Christmas is here I've just one thing to say
Thank you for granting my
wish, You see
Grandpa said that he
still loves me
