SHANGRALA'S
The sleigh was all packed, The reindeer were fed, But Santa still knelt By the side of the bed. "Dear Father," he prayed, "Be with me tonight, There's much work to do, And my schedule is tight." "I must jump in my sleigh And streak through the sky, Knowing full well That a reindeer can't fly." "I will visit each household, Before the first light, I'll cover the world, And all in one night." "With sleigh bells a-ringing, I'll land on each roof, Amid the soft clatter Of each little hoof." "To get in the house Is the difficult part, So I'll slide down the chimney Of each child's heart." "My sack will hold toys To grant all their wishes, The supply will be endless, Like the loaves and the fishes." "I will fill all the stockings And not leave a track, I'll eat every cookie That is left for my snack." "I can do all these things Lord, Only through You, I just need your blessing, Then it's easy to do." "All this is to honor The birth of the One, That was sent to redeem us... Your most Holy Son." "So to all of my friends, Least Your glory I rob, Please Lord, remind them Who gave me this job." ~ Poem By Warren D. Jennings ~ 
On Christmas Eve I heard a sound I'd never heard before. A voice was softly speaking And I wanted to hear more. So very quietly I arose From the bed where I was laying. I tiptoed to the living room Where I heard Santa praying. "Dear Jesus, It's your birthday And I just want to say, Thanks for letting me be a part Of your very special day." "I always have believed in you I know that you are real. But there are some who don't believe And how sad that makes me feel." "Some houses have no Bible They have no manger scene. Some people speak of Christmas But forget what it really means." "I pray someday they all will know What Your love's worth, and then I know that they will understand The importance of your birth. Amen!" 
I always knew Santa brought toys Like my truck and my sister's doll But on this night I understood Why Santa is the jolliest of all. It is because he helps to spread Good will and Christmas cheer. And he helps Jesus celebrate His birthday every year. Then I quietly returned to my room And snuggled back in my bed. Knowing I'd always remember The words that Santa had said. In the morning I remembered What I had heard and seen. But I wasn't sure if it was real Or just a wonderful dream?
