WHEN WE JOIN HANDS AROUND THE TABLE

I would like to write a poem

Filled with frivolity and fun,

But it seems I have no time

Because I’m always on the run.

 

Even when I think I’m “off”

From normal duties and chores,

It seems there always more thing to do,

Not to mention the beckoning stores.

 

Places to go, needs to attend,

Always planning the next event.

Doesn’t time off mean “Lets celebrate”?

So invitations must be sent!

 

And then the party looms ahead

And more things to do and buy.

So I’m off chasing the wind,

Day dreaming as time flies.

 

My brain is filled with recipes

And all the things I plan,

And my time off becomes so busy

Because I do everything I can.

 

And I get tired and need some rest

But after awhile I’m ready to go,

After all, the shopping must get done

Before tomorrow’s snow.

 

And so it did and now I’m home

And three batches of soup already made.

And only one more thing to buy

And all will be purchased and paid.

 

And regardless how much I do,

Or how busy I become.

I  look forward to our dinner party

Because it will be so much fun.

 

And thus my time off will have reason

When we join hands around the table,

And give thanks to Jesus our Lord

Who made this season available.

 

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO ALL MY FRIENDS!

ENJOY EACH AND EVERY MOMENT OF YOUR LIFE!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEAR SISTER!
