The lump in my throat is swallowing pride
Suddenly the house is electrified
Down the hall she'll zoom to the living room
Squeals of delight, her mom behind in stride
"Momma look! Santa wrote me a letter!
'My elf helper said no one was better
So here's your reward for when you get bored
PS thanks for the cookies, go-getter!"'
Then to my surprise she hands me a box
'Just in case santa filled your sock with rocks'
Lifting up the flap carefully unwrap
An ornament of a hand painted fox
The lump in my throat is swallowing pride
Today is the day I finally cried
Suddenly the house is electrified
Down the hall she'll zoom to the living room
Squeals of delight, her mom behind in stride
"Momma look! Santa wrote me a letter!
'My elf helper said no one was better
So here's your reward for when you get bored
PS thanks for the cookies, go-getter!"'
Then to my surprise she hands me a box
'Just in case santa filled your sock with rocks'
Lifting up the flap carefully unwrap
An ornament of a hand painted fox
The lump in my throat is swallowing pride
Today is the day I finally cried
Peanut butter honey banana sandwiches
