Jill's Christmas Wish

She climbed on the ledge two lotus legs in position waiting for the moon to cast her magic spell Soon she was bathed in light, feeling so very blessed amongst the orphanage children. The babes lay on their side watching her slip popcorn lovingly onto a string of gold "Soon it will be Christmas" she said to them with a smile while she sang that song of old that made the angels tremble "Remember if you are good?" but the litany was lost on those droopy eyes that wanted nothing more then sleep they hugged their flimsy blankets and counted little sheep Tango the hairy dog jumped onto the ledge and panted someone was pouring out light from a vase of silver n' white he saw a shimmer of wings and heard a high pitch... "ping* " his ears perked and his eyes turned to festive black olives "what is it Tango?" she asked as the dog turned to marble Before she knew it the room was filled with precious gifts and her heart was warmed by the rosy blush of an apple doll Crinkled faced, blond and pretty, this apple doll was a given from the angels of the dream world. She wished the doll would come to life and she did . "I'm yours" it said sweetly, "What shall you name me?" it said while cradling the ledge "Is my mom in heaven? Tell me Rose, I need to know" The End. November 5, 2018
