Gifts For My Family
December 18th, 2009 by AdminI will send to my mother
a behaved daughter
that will always make her happy
so she doesn’t need to be mad anymore.
I will send to my stepfather
a money tree
that will always grow money
so he doesn’t need to work for anyone.
I will send to my two little sisters
a forever childhood
that will never end
so they don’t need to worry about anything.
