All the children of the world
Should know what it feels like,
Getting gifts under the tree
And waiting for Santa on Christmas night.

Some are not so fortunate
To be filled with joy, such as this,
Instead of being happy
Their hearts are filled with something missed.

You might think
That all they need, is love in their hearts,
But try being in their shoes for one day
You'll know what it's like to have your life ripped apart.

I feel for those children, that don't get to have anything under their Christmas tree.
