OW
Season’s
Greetings to
All those serving
Under the Christmas
Star far away off world
In the dark or light of space
Cramped cold MREs warmed
On surfaces off limits for food
A set of rooms metal plastic
Memories of wood green
Plants real water milk
In cocoa and no one
Shooting at oneself
Dreaming of the
Blue sky and
A white
Cloud
Able to
Take a breath
In fresh open air.
Don’t forget to hang
Up your stockings
So Santa can
Leave you
A real
Orange
And dry socks,
An MO not stamped OW.
Oh, and thank you
For your OW
Service.
