POET'S CORNER "ONE WISH" The little txfy with tasseled hair, eyes so blue and skin so fair, stood in line at Santa's chair, wonderjrc if he was there, looks <p doubt and pains of fear, whispering - "He must be here". On his knee he silently crept, in his heart his secret kept, should he ask - Oh, he would, Santa would do it if he could. Santa touched his little nana, then he knew he'd understand, "Santa - please make Mommy smile, if only for a little while, take her worries and tears away, if only just on Christmas Day. He said no more, asked for no toy, for in his heart was unsung joy, he knew that in a little while, he'd see his Mommy's loving smile. by Geri Neubauer A Free Gift For You At Christmas An LP Album of beautiful music by McHenry County's Own Artists . . .
