The Christmas Wish

[Almyraia (Ship09/Div 45)]

"What do you want for Christmas?"
Santa Claus asked me

I looked at him and laughed

"What I want isn't cheap."

The big  man chortled, "Ho-ho-ho!"
And looked me in the eye,

"Try me." He said with confidence

As I started to cry.

"My Love's arms around me,

Lying next to me at nyte

His hand in my own

Warm, and cuddled up real tight."

Jolly Olde Saint Nicholas clapped me on the back

And said, "That's no problem! I'll have him in a snap!"
He clicked his fingers to fill her wish,

As he'd normally do

And frowned when nothing happened

"Why didn't he come through?!"

I shook my head and tried to explain

"Santa, can't you see?
My Love is off at Basic Training

Nothing will make him come to me."

His eyes sincere, he hugged me strong

"My dear, I am so sorry,

Whatever can I do?"

 

Sighing, I looked up to the stars

Shaking my head slow,
"Santa, all I want is to be with him

Everyday without him, my heart sinks so low

But each day I get stronger

With every single letter, I rejoice

And I know that I can do this

I really have no choice."

 

Saint Nick nodded his head

His red hat bobbing up and down

"It takes a special person to do this kind of thing,

Just the thought is so renowned!"

"Santa, it really isn't hard,

Love is the simple key

I'm pushing through this for him

Just as he is for me."

 

"The most respect to you."
He said with one big smile.

"But I really wish I could help,

Could you give me one more trial?"

 

"Actually, Santa, how about this?

Can you make January come extra fast?
The 20th to be specific

I don't want this lonely tyme to last!"

 
A sparkle in his eye, Santa did say to me
"My girl, I'll try my best for you."
As he got into his sleigh

"Until then, keep on going, and swift will come that day!"

 

As I watched him fly off

I wiped the tears from my eyes,

"I'm nearly halfway through this

And soon, I'll have PIR as my prize."
