"A Letter to Santa i"

 We laugh at little ch'lGlen when they write their little please For dolls and drums and tru1npets and the other fooleries; We smile at them good-natured1y and scan the scrawled request The childish hope, the childish faith, so eagerly expressed But you and I ray b'other, in our daily dream and task Are as the little children when the trinket-things they ask. We think we have out grown it-all that other-time belief. We think we fix and fashion all our joy and all our grief; But we are still as chic wanting Christmas gear and toys We ask with silent faith for all our compliment of joys And yet with grown-up wisdom we will chuckle at the note Addressed to dear old Santa, that the little fellow wrote.
