John P Read, l-awtur ta' din il-poezija, jistieden lil Santa Claus biex johodlu rigal fis-smewwiet fejn jittama li l-membru tal-familja tieghu, li miet ftit taz-zmien qabel, jinsab wara li halla din id-dinja

 

 

  

CHRISTMAS IN HEAVEN

Santa, do you know where heaven is?

Maybe your reindeer know the way.

For I have a special present

I need delivered on Christmas day.


For Christmas is a time for sharing

With those we hold so dear.

Please take this gift, with all my love

For an angel who's no longer here.


It's wrapped up in all our memories

We once shared from the past.

The ribbons and bows are all our dreams.

Inside there's a broken heart.


It's such a special parcel.

Please Santa, don't delay.

I would love it to be in heaven

In time for Christmas day.
