One of my favorite Christmas songs. If you've never heard Amy Grant sing this, it's a beauty. I remind myself that Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year's are the Bermuda Triangle of the hurting heart. So I enjoy the small beauties and gifts that this season brings and if I seek them, each day they present themselves to me.
With love during the holiday season,

Grown-Up Christmas List by Amy Grant
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.
As children we believed The grandest sight to see Was something lovely Wrapped beneath our tree.
Well heaven surely knows That packages and bows Can never heal A hurting human soul.
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.
What is this illusion called the innocence of youth? Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth.
(Refrain)
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, oh. This is my grown-up christmas list.
