Christmas Wish for the Southern Witch
by Michael Crawford



Oh, blessed be
Ms Christmas Eve

I'd like to wish a spell from thee

Please cleanse the souls of mortal man
Heal the wombs of wound, ma'am

Protect the youth from lust and greed
But fill their void of Christmas need

Cradle birth and bless its life
Flood the earth with Southern light

Stir a cauldron with words of verse
Prove the universe can cure a curse

Wave the wand of soulful song
Ask southern souls to sing along

A symphony if you please
Of peace and feast and melodies

Of gift giving gifts of giving dreams
With starlit skies of moonlit beams

Touching hearts internationally
Even those who don't believe

Those who won't or can't conceive
For they are those who truly need

But most of all I beg of thee
Hold me close to my family

Grant me please this Christmas wish
To you with love...Ms Southern Witch

Live Long
Let Life
Give Song"
