Poem
Santa's Magic Mask Santa got a letter From a young boy in Duluth Will there be a Christmas Say, it's not the truth We heard that you aren't coming This virus is real bad Folks say there'll be no Christmas And Santa, I'm quite sad A virus keeping me away What does this child say A Christmas without Santa? No gifts on Christmas Day A week went by and letters came They all said the same thing We heard there was no Christmas No gifts to us you'll bring So Santa called a meeting He had to find out for himself He called everyone around him Including his top elf Folks, this is a problem These children are upset This virus that they speak of Is it one that I could get? Research, do a study Find out what's going on I'll not stay home this Christmas On Christmas eve, I'm gone So, the elves all started searching They checked and made the calls This virus was a bad one They've cancelled Santa at the malls A week went by and Santa Called a meeting just to see If the virus was a dangerous Would Christmas cease to be? Santa, said his favorite elf You'll need to have a mask So, we've started on designing It is our major task Santa said, he'd wear one If it was what he had to do I need to keep the children safe Just, make sure that it's not blue Another week, more meetings A mask had been designed It covered up his nose and mouth And it tied up in behind I can't wear that on Christmas Eve It will not stay in place The knots will loosen over time It'll slide around my face The letters kept on pouring in The kids all had to know Was Santa staying home this year? Was Christmas a no-go? Another meeting, one more mask This looked like Santa's beard I like it, but, there is no mouth I think it looks quite weird Think boys, do your magic You make toys and are the best A simple little face mask Should not put you to the test Another mask, another fail Time was getting short If they could not deliver soon This Christmas, he'd abort Another meeting came and went So Santa said to write A letter to all magic folk Maybe they can set this right Two weeks before the big day There was a small knock at the door A fairy stood before him She looked no more than four Santa, I can help you You want a mask you can see through You do not want to scare the kids They have to see it's you Exactly, that is my plan But, can your mask do all these things She said, my mask is magic It's made of fairy wings She went inside with Santa She told him fairy wings were tough They could do all that Santa wanted And lots of other stuff The problem with my plan though Is if I give my wings away Wherever I am at in time That is where I'm bound to stay A sacrifice like that is huge Do you want to make that choice? There's no Christmas without Santa She said in her small voice You'd have to stay up here with us A winter fairy you will be Although you will be wingless You'll like it here you'll see She blinked her eyes and wiped her tears It's what I want to do I'll give them up to make your mask And I'll stay up here with you Santa, too was crying This was the gift that he would need He called his elven council And tasked them with their deed It took about a week or so They made the magic gift Invisible and see through It gave Santa's heart a lift The loops to go around his ears Were as thin as thin could be The mask, well, it was perfect And there was nothing you could see Santa put the mask on Took a breath, and all was fine There will surely be a Christmas And I love this mask design The fairy was now wingless She followed Santa all around But, you could she see was not happy She could no longer leave the ground Santa called another meeting Now that the mask is done I have another job boys And it is an easy one He told them what he wanted Gave a time when it was due I need it to be perfect Do the magic that you do The big day came and all was set The sleigh was set to go The reindeer were excited There was fresh, white, Christmas snow Tonight, I will endeavor To make this Christmas night the best I'll deliver all the gifts you made And I have one here in my vest He called the fairy forward He said the joy that Christmas brings Will go on with no stopping Because you gave your wings For you my dear I have a gift It's made from Christmas snow A little elven magic, And at this, the box did glow She took the box, and opened it Tears were in her eyes A perfect pair of fairy wings Measured perfectly to size Santa, these are lovely But, my wings, I gave to you No dear, these are special These fairy wings are new You do not need to stay here You can fly again and go I made these to say thank you You saved Christmas don't you know I know you know the answer She stayed there, need you ask That kids is the story Of Santa Claus's magic mask #christmas #santa #covid #virus #mask #safe #children #fairy #wings #winter
