Poem Title:
Poem
Winter winds blow all around. I’m astonished by the sounds of Jingle Bells and reindeer stomps. All of this should never stop. Snow lies on the ground, if only that weren't too profound. Time only leads to decay, but not on Christmas, not today. You should see the angels pray. Toy trains, and rag dolls are the things kids used to want. But time has changed, yes so have children… Santa seems as if a villain. So much fighting, so much crying, it sounds as if the kids are dying. “I want money, I want fame, and these toys are just so lame.” But that’s the product we provided. Second chances are no more, Santa’s plot we wait for. He’s sick of this, he doesn't care, it’s as if he’s not wanted here. He gets ready to take it all back…. WAIT! There’s still one toy left in his sack, it’s for a little girl, half a world away. Now how could he have missed this, on the perfect Christmas day? He turns around, not time for war. This toy, the girl is waiting for… It’s not a toy like you’d expect. She didn't ask for electronics, or stupid games such as Sonic. She just wanted one small thing… She’s waiting for something EXTRA special this gloomy day. In a bed she sits and stares, at the window near a chair. She’s so weak, and all alone. She doesn't even have a real home, not where there are bright lights anyways. They've decorated a weeping willow, the only tree around the “home”. So she has lights to see. It’s Christmas after all, but there’s no way to calm the raging sea. She’s dying, it won’t take much longer, and she doesn't care about the tree. She needs a new heart extra bad. So, Santa’s bringing her the one thing, that will stop her parents from being sad. He rushes to the hospital in his golden sleigh, and climbs right down the vent, He’s saving Christmas today. Santa rushes in just in time, finds a doctor, the girl is dying. It’s not what he usually does, but he stays and watches as they save her life. He waits for her to wake up. “Santa, you saved my life, oh thank you so much! I needed my heart to be touched.” He just smiles, and kisses her hand. He’s so glad he didn't destroy the land. Christmas is still a special day. There’s no more sorrow, no, not today. Santa smiles though some are still ungrateful. There’s that one child, standing in the snow, her life can now be started in the evening glow. That’s life for the grateful, loving, caring, and the thankful. Most of the time Santa just gives toys. For all the good girls and boys. But not today, and not tomorrow, once a year he gets rid of sorrow. So sleep tight and say your prayers, Christmas time is but once a year.
