Christmas Letter

"Another piece in the Muse files, Dedicated to my heartbeat Deana."

Dear Santa,

I need a moment in time.

A Christmas Miracle

Searching my soul,

Finding the words

this is no traditional Christmas request

I am not traditional guy

My time is short

My pain is high

Doctor said I should make it

But this is not a chance I will take

If this be my final words

Let them be true

Please don’t check your list

I do not know where I stand

Naught or Nice upon your list

I will never again know such bliss 

I recall crying upon my shoulder

Her tears soaking in

When I spoke of my return to fight

For God and Country

On Christmas night 

I wished to remain strong

To be the rock in her life

Now I will I could hold her

Just on more Christmas night

Please down the chimney I need you, Sir

Red coat and a smile

Should I not make it

Use all the Magic

At your command

To freeze time

With us hand in hand

And if I should die

Before I wake

Please tell her it was

God and country

But most importantly

For my lover’s sake.
