Letter to St. Nick

Dear Santa,

I don't know if you make stops in the afterlife,
but if you do, please
give our love to our mother

We all know you're magical
Chimneys, flying reindeer
and all of that
so anything is possible

You don't have to wrap it
or put a bow on it
or anything like that
She already knows what it is

Sincerely,
Steven, Michael, Jeffery, & David Too

This is...

beautiful! I know that many people say that beautiful is an overused word, but I can't think of any other word to use! This is a classic. I wouldn't change a thing and it is short and sweet and to the point. This is a Norman Rockwell painting in words! My heartfelt kudos to you. ~ Geezer.

Touching

Grief has driven so much art

Grief has driven so much art and beauty, but I'd be okay with some writer's block in this area of inspiration = ). Thanks for your thoughts Mark!

Cheers
