ANGEL

Little angel in the Christmas play
Picked up the Baby Jesus
And skipped and ran away
When they brought him back
And asked him why he did
He wiped his hand
Across his eyes
And this is what he said:

I'm sick of smelly Santas
With promises that break
And Joey Jonson said that Santa's
Nothing but a fake
But Jesus loves me
This I know
He doesn't make a fuss
He listens when I talk to him
He's really just like us
He helps me when I want to sleep
Or when I'm feeling blue
He says that I have got a star
And so do Dad and you
He's bored with Christmas pagents
He doesn't like the noise
The way the cars get stuck in jams
The fighting over toys
He just wants us to all be friends
To love each other too
He wanted me to show him that
So that's what I tried to do.
I sorry that I took him off
But he's happy that I did
Now lets get on with this Christmas play
And I'll be a better kid.
I promise.
