Christmas Sense

Christmas Sense

Open your eyes

Allow the light to come in.

See the star that gives hope from within.

Open your mouth

Sing songs of great joy.

Exalting the Christ child much more than a toy.

Open your ears

To the words of life.

He brings an end to all strife.

Open your nose

Breath in the great smells,

Of a fragrance that brings memories and tales.

Open your heart

Allow Him to enter 

It'll bring peace and joy and feel so much better.

Seuss Sonnet Higher Up

Seuss Sonnet Higher Up. 2020.

It's been said that you were born to stand out.

You have grown up with your head full of brains.

That things will happen, that there is no doubt.

With feet in shoes and gusto in your veins.

Learnt that only you control what is next,

Stepping with care and great tact you did find,

That this great balance of life is complex.

Success and You will indeed be aligned.

Today is your day. Congrats on your gain.

You are now on your way up to great sights.

As a high flier like you don't need a plane.

Cause you bring focus on things to high heights.

So I know you know your brains in your head.

Go, fly higher for great things are ahead.

Tough, Tougher and Toughest

Tough, Tougher and Toughest

You tell me what your going through.

A tough time that you have no clue.

Tell you what to do, I'll never.

With my heart listen, no pressure.

I know you have it with in you.

The strength enough to get you through.

I would wish the greatest of these.

Blessings on you and a tight squeeze.

I can't say it better than Dr. Seuss

“And when you’re alone there’s a very good chance

you’ll meet things that scare you right out of your pants

There are some, down the road between hither and yon,

that can scare you so much you won’t want to go on.”

I think you see that you know what will come:

“Out there things can happen, and frequently do,

To people as brainy and footsy as you.

And when things start to happen, don’t worry, don’t stew.

Just go right along, you’ll start happening too!”

Neighbor Sonnet

A Sonnet of Lucky Neighbors

When we moved across country it was hard.

Our family was no longer around.

Luck had us in it's grip just next yard.

Best neighbors are always hard to be found.

Wally and Janet was the best pair known.

From his front porch I got to know the man.

Come home from work to sit on his front throne.

Advice given to his number one fan.

What can I say about the best grannie.

She always kept my boys fed with cookies.

To Watch out for our dog she was handy.

You could get away with lotsa goodies.

I hope to continue to love like that.

Their love for each other never went flat.
