Santa dear
So I hear
Christmas is a time
To spread good cheer.
You grant wishes galore
To rich and poor
Dispel gloom
Chase away fear
To desolate hearts
Bring celestial warmth
And light up souls
With star-spangled mirth!
Why then
Did you so conspire
To deny my sole wish
Break my hopeful heart?
I did not ask
The world of you-
Just one tiny corner
To be my universe
Just one little star
In my firmament
To light my path
Now dreary and dark.
Or perhaps
On second thoughts
It was a tall order
For you to grant
And let me have
Just what I want
Had you fulfilled
My cherished dream
Why then would I desire
Your charity to light my fire
Or eagerly await
Your next arrival
I never wished on stars
But this one was
Well, unique!
Little wonder, then
It’s charm
You couldn’t resist!
Alongwith the star
You took away
My lone ray of hope!
O Harbinger of cheer,
This cruel joke was
An agonising wish-miss.

I just want to say one thing…sometimes HIS answer is NO… take care UC.. T
firstly, this poem is fabulous! Christmas is not a time that denies- if anything, it gives joy! Even though a non-Christian, I found joy, praying at the portals of a church in Guwahati, it was so crowded! Personally, life seems to take away things that you desire most- and these days the disaster seem to choose December and the winter in general to strike! Then again, there are personal problems- that seem ages to get resolved! I wish you a very Happy 2007, hope it does get you what you wish for! Cheers!
