Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser Poet Narrative

Tears On Santa's Cheeks

TEARS ON SANTA'S CHEEKS

Daddy's little girl is going.

Daddy's little girl is slowly leaving...

Silent night...
it's what the angels are singing
Outside there are ringing laughter, however--
in a hospital bed
which was cold white as the snow
lies the body of a little girl, 

d e a d.

Her little soul just had to go.
She just had to go ahead than the others.
Her once sun kissed face now the palest cream.
Her once twinkling eyes now shut  so tight.

The glow of light and love she always bring
was lost on Christmas night,

as Santa stood in red and white
holding a present on his hands
staring at the child
his eyes wet with falling tears

for his little girl has died.

Hugs // paul Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser November 27, 2014 at 3:01 AM Thanks much Paul.. :) I was just inspired with the reality that on Christmas day not all are happy.. :) and atleast that day the least we can do who are happy is to whisper a prayer for those who are not.. God bless us all.. :)

Liam Mcdaid November 26, 2014 at 1:04 PM touching very beautifully penned piece olive Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser November 26, 2014 at 4:55 PM Thanks much Liam.. :)

Brenda Meier-Hans November 26, 2014 at 12:29 PM Very beautiful Olive, but you should supply a Kleenex box with this kind of poetry. It just broke my heart. I had a friend who's son died Christmas day playing with his new electric train set. Christmas was never the same for that family. Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser November 26, 2014 at 4:53 PM that's really sad Brenda.. :) I chose even Silent Night as it seems the melody is somewhat melancholic but when see as you see the lyrics the message is about happiness.. same goes to this poem that not everyone is happy during this day.. :)

James Fraser November 26, 2014 at 12:13 PM Many a child is born on Christmas Day, yet many a child is lost on Christmas Day. Sad but true words in your poetry Olive, James..... Olive Eloisa Guillermo - Fraser November 26, 2014 at 4:50 PM thanks James.. :) and as far as the world is concerned it's a reality that while others are happy on this day, they are some who are sad also.. this what I want to portray here...
