Letter to father Christmas

Dear Father Christmas , bring me the presents I have always wanted . Bring me affection for the children , a smile for the elderly , bring me peace where there is war , love where there is hatred . Bring me sunshine when it ' s cold , water when there is thirst . Bring me stars for those who have no hope , confidence for those who don ' t believe . Bring me the presents I have always wanted . Bring me a master for the abandoned dog , a little pity for the mistreated animals .

Give serenity if someone has lost it and joy to those who ' ve never known it . Give out hearts because everybody needs one , respect where the powerful always win , a friend for those who have only enemies . Bring me the presents I have always wanted and make every home a place where it ' s always Christmas .

-Gianfranco Aurilio
