Christmass Blessings!

A nice little poem I learnt as a child, from my English teacher, and which I was striving to remember earlier today. Here it is:

If I could do whate'er I want to do
To make complete your gladsome Christmas-Day,
I would not bring a single thing to you,
But I would come and take some things away.
I'd take away all trouble from your heart,
Each pain and sorrow I would have relieved;
And every word that caused a single smart,
And every hour through which you sadly grieved.
I'd have them all begone - forever gone
Forgotten like the things that cannot be
And then each hour would be a joyful one
For only good things would be left, you see
Now that is what I'd really like to do,
If I could do the things I wish for you.
