Poem
The Kiss of a Christmas Elf An elf, as one of Santa’s little Helpers, is bringing presents to a family on Christmas Eve. A little girl is sleeping close to the Christmas Tree and to the chimney, too, so she will not miss Santa’s Visit tonight! Cookies and Milk are well prepared. The elf is taking his task very seriously, and is making sure, that nobody will see him doing his job. But when the elf was placing the last present under the Christmas Tree, the little girl woke up, rubbing her eyes and whispered: “Santa—is it YOU?” “No,” said the elf, “but I am one of HIS Helpers.” Then the little girl gave him a big smile, and rushed over to him and gave him a big hug, and said: “Thank you soooo much, that you came tonight! I was waiting soooo long for a sign from Santa— and now HE sent YOU! I am soooo happy!” The elf was surprised, he did not expect that the little girl was totally happy with an elf instead of Santa Claus himself, but he was so deeply touched— by seeing this pure joy on that little girl’s face. So he smiled and gave her a big hug, too, and placed a little kiss on her cheek leaving a tiny glimmer of fairy dust there. But tonight was Christmas Night, with so much “Magic” and “Wonder” in the air! And a kiss from an elf, given in pure love and joy, has magic in itself, but on Christmas Eve— it has a very special magic, and an aura of enchantment too! And so, that little girl got a special gift on this Christmas Eve: From now on, whenever she smiles, and is looking at someone with pure joy, there is a “real magic” in her smile, and it lets each person around her remember the message of Christmas Eve— To bring love and light To everyone on Earth: Hallelujah! And Santa Claus later smiled at his little helper and said: “Well done, my little elf, well done!” Gary Bateman and Ingrid Krukenberg-Bateman A Collaborated Poem, Copyright © All Rights Reserved December 19, 2018 (Narrative)
