Santa, have you seen my Soldier?
'Santa have you seen my...' I slammed the radio off. I turned around to see that Eric didn't even blink an eye, last year I got questioned. "Mommy, why don't we ever listen to that song?" I had no idea how to answer, so I of course, changed the subject. I tried so hard to avoid going to see Santa this year, because Christmas is hard, it's been ard for about five years. Ever since Jason... But of course, Annabeth... and Hazel came pounding on my door this morning saying my son let them in and I had to get dressed so we could go see Santa.
Flashback
"Come on Pipes!"
"You have to get up, Santa is only going to be there for another couple hours!"
"Why me? Why can't you take Sophia? Or Matt?"
"We already went, so hurry up! Eric is already ready."
"Fine I'm moving, go start the car."
"YAY," they shouted in unison.
"By the way, you are so lucky your tree has so many colors," Annabeth sighed. "Mine is mostly blue." Hazel and I laughed as I grabbed a red off-the shoulder shirt, dark skinny jeans, and uggs from my closet and went to the bathroom to get ready.
End of Flashback
"Piper you have to stop hiding," Annabeth said from the driver's seat.
"You try being me," I snapped, realizing she kind of has been in my shoes. "I take that back."
Hazel squealed. I laughed at her antics as we pulled into the parking lot and parked. Eric literally hopped out of the car. "Do you know what you are going to ask Santa for?"
"Yep," he said cheerfully, skipping alongside me, with Annabeth and Hazel in the lead.
When it was our turn to go see Santa, Eric pulled me up with him. "Now little fellow, what would you like for Christmas?"
"I would like a new robot." Then added, "Please."
"I will see to that, and how about you mom? What would you like for Christmas?"
"Hmmm... I don't know, I think I have everything I need.
"But, everyone wants something."
Okay I did want something. "Santa, can you bring my soldier home, Santa bring him home." Tears started to form in my eyes.
"I will do what I can within my power."
"Okay people, let's get this picture taken?" The photographer said. "How about mom stands next to Santa's chair, and the boy where he is? Perfect." I looked straight at the camera. I felt an arm wrap around my waist. I didn't look away from the camera until the picture was taken, so I wouldn't burst into tears.
"Hey, Beauty Queen, did you miss me?" I laughed with tears running down my face. I hugged him as tight as I could.
"I am never letting you go again."
"I know, I don't plan on going anywhere else soon." He kissed me, right there on the spot. It was salty with tears. Everyone started clapping, my face turned red. I saw Eric with Hazel. He looked very confused. I then dragged Jason over to them, and picked Eric up. "Eric, meet your daddy." I then looked at Jason. He was smiling like he never smiled before, Jason, meet Eric Alec Grace." Eric gave him a small wave, then wiggled out of my arms and hugged Jason's legs. Soon, Annabeth and Hazel were crying too.
Santa Have you Seen My Soldier lyrics
Oooh, aaay
Santa have you seen my soldier?
The one who wears my heart
We're so far apart, ohhhh
Santa have you seen my soldier?
I'm bravin' through the lonely nights
Just getting by
Livin' prayer to prayer
It's so hard to be apart this time of year
The ones you love should be near
Material things lose all their value
Cuz all I want is him
Santa have you seen my soldier?
Let him know that I miss him and love him so
Santa bring my soldier home
I need him here in my arms
Cuz love's worth fighting for
Santa bring him home
Santa bring him home
Oh oh oh ohhh
Life's not the same without my soldier
Every time we laughed,
The comfort that we had
Ohh
He's the one who's been there for me all along
He taught me to be strong enough
When times are tough
And keep the faith when I can't hold on
It's so hard to be apart this time of year
The ones you love should be near
Material things lose all their value
Cuz all I want is him
Santa have you seen my soldier?
Let him know that I miss him and love him so
Santa bring my soldier home
I need him here in my arms
Cuz love's worth fighting for
Santa bring him home
The wind blows so cold
Without your hand to hold
It's haunting my mind
Like the day we said goodbye
There's a boy overseas
Who's lonely just like me
I'm waiting for the day
My hero comes home to me
Send my love
Send my love
Send my love love
Send my love
Send my love
Send my love love
Send my
Send my (send my) love
Send my love
Send my love love
Send my love
Send my love
(Send my love love
Send my
Send my love)
Santa have you seen my soldier?
Let him know that I miss him and love him so
Santa bring my soldier home
I need him here in my arms
Cuz love's worth fighting for
Santa bring him home
Love love
Send my love
Send my love
Send my love love
Send my
Send my (send my) love
Send my love
Send my love
Send my love love
Send my love
Send my love
Send my love love
Send my
Send my love
