Grown Up Christmas List

I enjoy Amy Grant’s version of “Grown Up Christmas List”.  I wanted to share from my heart to yours a few lines of the song.  Sending you warm Christmas wishes this season.

 

“Do you remember me?

I sat upon your knee.

I wrote to you with childhood fantasies.

Well, I’m all grown-up now, and still need help somehow.

I’m not a child, but my heart still can dream.

So here’s my lifelong wish

My grown-up Christmas list.

Not for myself, but for a world in need.

No more lives torn apart,

That wars would never start

And time would heal all hearts.

And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end.

This is my grown-up Christmas list.”

 

I’m wishing you each a season filled with love, joy and peace. Lots of love!
