Dear Mr Claus

Dear Mr Claus,
I hope this letter finds you well.
I have a couple things I need to ask of you.
A list of favours,
from some children that I know,
who've mentioned a couple things,
and maybe could you follow through?
I know you're busy,
with your bag full-up with toys
and the elves all running checks upon your reindeer.
But I worry
that the people on my list
will be left behind,
so here are all the whos and all the whys.
Little Cody off in Texas wants to gift a teddy bear
to all those who have to make do on their own.
Elizabeth from Washington,
she is worried about the floors.
Can you fix the holes,
so nana won't trip over anymore?
Angel's mum's away serving her country overseas,
please send some elves to help make sure that she is safe.
And Adam's in Ontario,
his grandpa's in a nursing home.
This Christmas,
spend some time with him so he is not alone.
I know that this is quite the list we've left for you.
But I know that you're the man to see it through.
Give those reindeer many snacks,
watch for stars so you don't crash,
and take this list,
so that we are always with you.

Mr Claus,
I know that time is getting tight,
but as you cross the timezones,
maybe spend some time just checking twice
on the people
that we all care for most.
I'm sure you understand,
this holiday we leave you precious cargo.
Lena lived in Ukraine -- her dad still fights at home.
She hopes you'll find him to give him all his gifts.
Jordan's parents are in urgent care,
his worries are with them this year.
Send some magic
and maybe that'll make the doctors cheer.
Aaron's old dog Champ, he got sick and passed away,
here are some treats to take him on the other side.
Andrew's family is split up again,
his siblings are in foster care,
He wants them all to spend this Christmas with his parents,
this one time.
I know that this is quite the list we've left for you,
but I know that you're the man to see it through.
Give those reindeer many snacks,
watch for stars so you don't crash,
and take this list,
so that we are always with you.

So Santa Claus,
I hope this letter found you well.
I know that this is quite the list we've asked of you.
Many favours,
from the children that I know
who've asked a couple things,
and hope that you can follow through?
We know you're busy,
with your bag fullup with toys
and the elves completing checks upon your reindeer.
But please remember
the people on my list
will be left behind,
so remember all the whos and all the whys.
I know that this is quite the list we've left for you.
But I know that you're the man to see it through
Give those reindeer many snacks,
watch for stars so you don't crash,
and take this list,
so that we are always with you.
