Present I Want
If you could get one present this year, what would it be?
For the past few years, I’ve had trouble figuring out my birthday and Christmas wishes. Whenever friends and family ask me, "What do you want for your birthday?" or "What do you want for Christmas?" I just could not answer, or I would reply, "What I really want, money can’t buy." The following song pretty much describes my wish list.
My Grown-Up Christmas List
By Kelly Clarkson, Amy Grant, and Monica
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
And 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 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(there’d be)
No more lives torn apart
That wars would never start
And time would heal all hearts
And everyone would have a friend
And right would always win
And love would never end, oh
This is my grown up Christmas list
This is my grown up Christmas list
Money can’t buy world peace, the end of suffering, perfection, cooperation, not competition, and friendship with everyone in the world. Dollars and coins can provide almost only material things, which I don’t really care for anymore.
