christmas day
has come & gone
along with all
the christmas songs
tree trimmings
have been stored away
cookies & sweets eaten
pounds needed
to be shed away
oh my……
wasn’t it the same
last year

morning light….
the transition from night….
hearts wake……
making room for a new day

a white blanket
covers all
a falling of snow
awaits for children’s
cries of glee
waiting for mom’s
to find mittens & hats
waiting for sleds
buried

bring together your family
………………………..& friends
remind each and everyone
of them

tis the season
to hang holly
be jolly
& merry too

trim

white lace covered lawn
angels’ footprints adorning
cardinals’

down
………..the hatch
with the 1st
………..not the last
a day
………..a night
of fearless
……………fun
we
…………are
……………….sisters
at heart
escaping 
……………..the rat race
………………………………today
let worries
………………evaporate
in the sun

the bucket
……………..is filled

life turned
a corner today
taking away a dream
replacing with
a nightmare it seemed

it may hurt
to say goodbye
dry the tears
left in your eyes
kiss the sun
tuck in the moon

all is
