Expectations ...

Blog 502:

 
"Go to bed!" Ate ordered.
"Stop fretting!" Kuya demanded.

Of Santa Claus ... I excitedly dreamed
Of special toys ... I fervently wished and prayed
Of warm chocolate and cookies ... I delightfully visualized

I lay in bed very still
I let the night lull and comfort me
It passed quietly …
It painfully tortured me …
Not long after fighting, my eyes grew weary
Finally they closed.

Dawn came at its usual time the next day
Then the sun's rays peeked teasingly
I stretched out
I forced my eyes to keep open till they got wide-open
I got up and tiptoed down the stairs
I looked around for signs of Santa's visit
I looked for toys under the fake Christmas tree
I checked out the table for cookies and chocolate
But found every place empty!

Christmas?

Christmas is nothing more but a senseless, hollow day!
