She sat there
By the window,
Snowflakes falling
Ground full of white stuff,
She never got to play in it
The orphanage didn’t allow it.
After all
She couldn’t disobey the rules,
She was an orphan
Like the other 49,
She watched through the window
On a lonely Christmas Eve,
Parents and kids outside
Shopping for presents.
That night
She made her wish,
As she went to bed
She hoped and prayed,
Then
Christmas Day came.
Her wish
Had come true,
For next Christmas Eve
She wasn’t alone,
She had a new family
One to play in the snow with,
One to buy presents for,
One to love forever.
