【Aiden in English】

                People of Earth always rumor

                About the stars above with humor

                Yet all the people do not understand

                Why they never reach out a helping hand.

                Upon looking up, I see

                The very stars staring down at me

                Albeit the beauty and glimmering shine

                They have not spoken from their own confines.

                Rolling up the issues of life

                The stars beyond walk strife for strife

                How fast I try, each star

                Remains a-watching from afar.

                Finally I stopped, my legs growing tired

                And realize the time is about expired,

                I stoop low, depressed, but surprisingly see

                A bright, glowing star on a Christmas tree.

                It simply sat there, without a word

                Up top the tree, like a bird.

                Desperately grasping, I asked for a way

                A way to reach the stars far away

                Kneeling at the feet of its roots

                I stared at snow around my boots.

                Looking up, for one last time

                I heard the faintest of a chime.

                The Christmas star shined a light

                A lightway up, a beam so bright

                The stars answered its lingering call

                Seemingly silent, they began to fall.

                And I asked a wish.

                A Christmas wish.
