so this is Christmas..................
'Tis the season to be jolly,
decorate the house with lights
and holly.
Breads and cookies waiting
to bake,
standing for hours till my tired
feet ache.
Gingerbread men dance in my
sleep,
while I am lying here counting
sheep?
Return all the holiday telephone
calls,
rise before dawn, rush to the
malls.
Decorate a nine foot evergreen
tree,
dazzling ornaments with
twinkling lights to see.
Opps, six strands of lights went
out;
this time of year can make me shout.
Make another list, shop
some more,
don't forget to decorate the front door.
Holiday greetings from friends
so dear,
I wonder if I've seen these
people in years.
Everyone has that certain
holiday way,
cranky and tired with nothing to
say.
The roads are crowded with cars
going too fast,
will I finally find time to sit
down at last.
sigh
Please just stop right now, and contemplate,
before the holiday is over, and
it's too late.
This is Christmas and just the start,
of a feeling that comes from
within your heart.
Christmas is about peace, and joy, friendship,
and more.
keep love in your heart and your spirits will soar. ~kam
