Dear Santa: Send Love to Newtown
I wrote this last night after pulling off the road on my way home. Those that have read it have said they felt moved by it, so I thought I might share it with your town.
Dear Santa,
You know that I write you, around this time each year.
And I know that you're busy with all the toys and reindeer.
This time I'm not asking for gifts or any Christmas snow
I'm writing to you this year cause there's something you should know.
Look through your stack of letters or perhaps use your list
I know you're oh so busy but I really must insist
There's only about 20 names that you should find.
This is my only wish this year, Santa I hope that you don't mind
Those special boys and girls whose names I do not know
They got taken away today so I'm afraid that you won't go
Those kids may not need you but their mommies surely will
Their daddies' hearts need some mending of the holes it's torn in them
So please take my presents and change them into hugs
And throw them down their chimneys with all your Christmas love.
And for the man who did this while, I want to be so cruel
Give some hugs to his family from me, because I'm sure they'll need them too

"I know that no words have been entered into the dictionary to describe how this feels, but I hope that if enough people try, maybe some kind of peace can be found. Thinking of you and your families from Atlanta."
