(By Funshine Bear)
Whispers of love melt the crystal snowflakes falling all around me
I can almost hear Santa's sleigh bells jingling merrily above
Bright smiles line the faces of everyone, lit up by rainbows of light
Full hues of purple, green, yellow and red drench the crowded city life
Simple and serene breathe the forests in deep sleep while I wander home
Wondering and dreaming of satin dresses and silk panties
Snuggled in bed with my teddy, soon to lie down alone...
When I saw a great blue star, sparkling and shimmering
My heart beat fast and I threw open my frozen window
Then aloud I cried: If only I could become a real girl!
So silly I now felt, as my wish echoed out across all the world
A single tear slipped away from my eye and was caught by the snow
Above in the black midnight sky the sapphire star continued to grow
Engulfing my bedroom in the tender tones of its bold, arctic-blue glow.
Cuddling my teddy, feet quite unsteady as memories of Christmas flowed
Gushing like a water fall, tickling at my toes and warming my soul with joy
Upon my bed I collapsed in girlish laughter, wishing for dollies and perfume
When the first waves of sleep, swept me away with the stars and moon
Down the stairs I went slowly, softly yet boldly awaiting to peek
Then Santa Claus appeared, bent down and kissed my cheek
He chuckled all rosy, dressed in fur, he turned to his leather sack slowly
Reaching in, I saw him withdraw a great, big Funshine Bear!
And around its neck a pendant of pure Jade mysteriously glared.
"This gift, my darling was made just for you..."
Santa smiled reassuringly and laced the stone about my neck
"In remembrance of the night you got your wish, my precious...
Now hurry, off to bed... you must be asleep before I leave
For the true magic of Christmas lies within the eyes of a child
What most are happy just to see, children look for instead."
MerryChristmas Everybody!!
