I’ve celebrated many Christmas Seasons over the years and have always enjoyed the celebrations, the festivities, the shopping, the baking, the beautiful packages and lights… ahhhhhh what a festive and joyful time of year!
Most of those years, like many people, I was ‘hoping for this’ and/or ‘wishing for that'---always having a list of things I’d like to receive.
Few people in my ‘current’ world know that for many years, I also sang solos in Church… and one of the songs I sang (that touched my heart then and even more deeply today) is again my list of What I’d Like For Christmas this year!
I hope you enjoy the song's message as much as I do!
My Grown-Up Christmas List!
(David Foster & Linda Thompson Jenner)
Do you remember me
I sat upon your knee
I wrote to you with childhood fantasies
Well I'm all grown-up now
And still need help somehow
I'm not a child
But my heart still can dream
So here's my lifelong wish
My grown-up Christmas list
Not for myself
But for a world in need
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list
As children we believed
The grandest sight to see
Was something lovely
Wrapped beneath our tree
Well heaven surely knows
That packages and bows
Can never heal a hurting human soul
No more lives torn apart
that wars would never start
and time would heal all hearts
Everyone would have a friend
and right would always win
and love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas List
What is this illusion called
The innocence of youth
Maybe only in our blind belief
Can we ever find the truth
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
Everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end
This is my grown-up Christmas list
This is my ONLY Lifelong Wish
This is my grown-up Christmas list!
May your Christmas be all you hoped and a wonderful time of peace, joy, happiness and harmony in all areas of your life!
Sharing A Love That Never Ends...
