oh we need a little christmas
and that's all you'll get
with bills and life
all my money is spent
no ribbons and paper or shiny new bows
only misery, sorrow, and other such woes
my son wants everything
what should i do?
give him what little i can
and hear his boo hoo's?
that his letter to santa got lost in the mail?
will he be upset, scream and whail?
feelings of inadequacy
shame fills my heart
i am such a bad mother
not doing my part
this year all the gaiety of the holidays will ensue
but for me it will be nothing but stressful and blue
