What They Really Want for Christmas

One of our Story Time Felts Consultants, Wendy Varney, who also writes some of our original stories, wrote this poem. I love it!

What I Really Want
-A child’s request

Most of the time the TV’s OK,
But Mom I’d rather be with you today.
Play Station’s fun and exciting too,
But honestly mom I’d rather play with you.
I know you are busy with lots going on,
But do you have a minute to sing me a song?
Games and electronics, all varied and sorted,
But really I’d rather you tell me a story.
Just a bit of your time, I won’t take too long,
Before you know it, one day I’ll be gone.

This poem is dedicated to all the busy moms out there, from a mom who wishes she’d realized this sooner.

    Could you please put me in touch with Wendy. I’d like permission to use her poem in a book I’m writing.
    Thanks so much.
