Santa and the Rainbow

Dragon was in the park one day, and wanted to touch a rainbow. Yes siree’! But no matter how close he got… It kept running ahead of him, you see. Are rainbows really, so Shy? Why won’t he let me touch him? He did cry! Doesn’t he really like me at all? Dragon being broken hearted; said it all. I’m going somewhere over the rainbow, So Don’t bother to tell me, I can’t! Aren’t I a mythological Dragon, aren’t I supposed to do what others can’t? But, even little Dragons have limits, and, yes, he eventually found that out. It totally broke his little heart, and mine, as he wandered so very hurt, about. Cheer up, little dragon, I said as I cuddled him, as he lay down, and he did cry. The rainbow loves you; see how he sends those colors, through the air, so high. Long ago, when he left his Mama, and first came here from the rings of Saturn. Many tried to steal his essence, but at the last moment, someone saved him. Some said he was a Great man, others a Wizard, with a kind and gentle hand. Now, no man may capture the rainbow, no matter how fast, or bold, they ran. The Man that saved the Day, was from then on, called Santa Claus, my dear. The rainbow gave Santa a gift, to be able to fly, and spread Christmas cheer. And yes, also to the reindeer, which helped him, I do say to you, quite clear. And like the rainbow, Santa and the reindeer, will never grow old, you hear? If you see Santa fly thru the sky, you will see streaks from the little rainbow. For they became such great and fast friends, on that day so very long ago… Now they all celebrate Christmas together, with all the little girls and boys. And the true meaning of Christmas is not lost on them, as they hand out toys. For they are celebrating the birth of Christ…as they give and receive joy. Now as Santa would say ‘Merry Christmas to all and to all a Very Good Night!’ Written 12-18-2014
