Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Christmas Wish

You are stationed so far away,

Serving your nation in times bad.

We'd be apart on Christmas Day.

I know that makes both of us sad.

Tonight on Christmas Eve I went

Outside and walked through fallen snow.

And up into the sky I sent

My wish to a star all aglow.

Then back to our home went I,

And fell asleep thinking of you.

Awakened, I began to cry.

My wish for Christmas had come true.

I wished upon a Christmas star,

And you and I together are.
