Little Mouse's Christmas Wish

Dear Santa,

I am just a little mouse, I'm quiet and so shy...

My Mama says I'm awfully good, I know I always try!

I make my bed, I sweep the floor, I hang up all my clothes...

I never fuss, I clean my plate and always wipe my nose.

I would like some tasty nuts and berries oh so sweet...

A wind up car, a woolen hat and slippers for my feet.

A boat that sails, a bouncy ball, a horse that neighs and rocks...

Some peppermints & bubble gum, a pair of red-striped socks.

But Santa please remember the little mice so sad...

The ones who have no nice warm homes, no Mama dear, no Dad.

Maybe I should ask you now to give my gifts away...

To wee ones who are hurting so & forgotten how to play.

I have enough dear Santa & I think that I should share...

With all of those who need my help, to show them that I care.

For many mice go without and feel so by themselves...

They fear they are forgotten by you and all your elves.

Please give a toy to bring a smile to each sad, little mouse...

Some Christmas cheer to bring some joy to every tiny house.
