A Tween’s Christmas

by Runo Ededjo aged 13

Dear Santa,

I’ve been fairly good this year
I’m sure you would agree,
Just ask your elves and they will tell
Just you wait and see!

Tidying my room without being asked
Has become quite a normal thing
And washing the plates (which I hate)
I do with the pride of a king!

So this year I ask for something
That is quite, well… different
A pair of trainers and a jumper
Will make me feel quite pleasant.

I’d like to say I’m ‘Growing Up’
And acting more mature
And with the Grace of God I’ll carry on
And good deeds I’ll do more!
