For Reindeer, Flying Sleighs and Elves
Even if so, I can clearly see
They represent the best of “ourselves”
In them we see hope and caring
Sharing, joy, and love
We see “people” helping others
And efforts beyond and above
And yet, each night during the season
As I close my eyes to dream
I take a mere moment to consider
To me they’re as real as they seem.
For why can’t dreams be real
And why can’t real be dreams
And what prevents what is simple
From being just as it seems
So Santa’s as real as I am
Or maybe it’s the other way
But no matter how you see it
It explains my large red sleigh
That putts along on a wind stream
Sparkling and twinkling at night
Filled with reindeer and presents
Prompting other people’s delight
Someday my sleigh may cease to run
Or perhaps it’ll be I that cease
Whichever one, comes to be first
I leave you with this wish for peace
Peace in this Christmas season
Peace in the Christmas next
Peace and joy and loving
And simplicity in this life complex
