Santa\’s Prayer

Santa's Prayer on Christmas Eve <br />n<br />nBy Warren D. Jennings <br />n<br />nThe sleigh was all packed, the reindeer were fed,<br />n But Santa still knelt by the side of the bed. <br />n<br />n"Dear Father," he prayed "Be with me tonight.<br />n There's much work to do and my schedule is tight. <br />n<br />nI must jump in my sleigh and streak through the sky,<br />n Knowing full well that a reindeer can't fly. <br />n<br />nI will visit each household before the first light,<br />n I'll cover the world and all in one night. <br />n<br />nWith sleigh bells a-ringing, I'll land on each roof,<br />n Amid the soft clatter of each little hoof. <br />n<br />nTo get in the house is the difficult part,<br />n So I'll slide down the chimney of each child's heart. <br />n<br />nMy sack will hold toys to grant all their wishes.<br />n The supply will be endless like the loaves and the fishes. <br />n<br />nI will fill all the stockings and not leave a track.<br />n I'll eat every cookie that is left for my snack. <br />n<br />nI can do all these things Lord, only through You,<br />n I just need your blessing, then it's easy to do. <br />n<br />nAll this is to honor the birth of the One,<br />n That was sent to redeem us, Your most Holy Son. <br />n<br />nSo to all of my friends, least Your glory I rob,<br />n Please Lord, remind them who gave me this job."
