A Child’S Christmas Prayer

Dear Lord, be good to Santa Claus, He’s been so good to me; I never told him so because He is so hard to see. He must love little children so To come through snow and storm; Please care for him when cold winds blow And keep him nice and warm.

Dear Lord, be good to him and good To Mary Christmas, too. I’d like to tell them, if I could, The things I’m telling you. They’ve both been very good to me, And everywhere they go They make us glad;--no wonder we All learn to love them so.

Please have him button up his coat So it will keep him warm; And wear a scarf about his throat If it should start to storm. And when the night is dark, please lend Him light if stars are dim, Or maybe sometimes you could send An Angel down with him.

Please keep his heart so good and kind That he will always smile; And tell him maybe we will find And thank him after while. Please keep him safe from harm and keep Quite near and guard him when He’s tired and lays him down to sleep. Dear Lord, please do! Amen.
