Tiny white stars drift through the air,
Coming from the sky with the wishes glowing there.
Snowflakes turn the world to diamond-covered white.
Hope dances around this beautiful sight.
Miracles happen to those who continue to believe,
So make your wish on Christmas Eve.

There's a little kid with lukemia in the hospital around where I live, and for Christmas, he has asked the nurses for one million Christmas cards. So my class all made him Christmas cards today and I wrote this poem inside of one. Happy Christmas, Max! I hope your Christmas wish comes true!

Thanks, I just hope that enough people are participating for him to get all million cards that he wants, because that's a lot of cards, and our school is way too small to get anywhere close to that.

Sure thing, I'll take a look at it right now.
