A Christmas poem.

A Christmas poem.

I haven't been here for a while,

Some let out a big cheer

But I have not been idle,

no not at this time of year.

I've been sorting out some benefits

the ones we all should get

and let the system that fixes it

do what they do best.

So while all this is going on

I forgot what time it is

and now I'm running round

gathering some good cheer.

Some say it's that Prosecco

that big bottle I know you like

others want the new Nintendo

and all those ancillaries.

For me, it's quite simple

To have my family there

to celebrate Christmas round the table

where arguments disappear.

The sound of people laughing

with funny hats upon their head

and bottles of bubbly

with corks flying through the air.

But most of all for me

it's to reflect the year gone by

and remember I'm still breathing

and I'm certainly not dead.

The biggest present that I have

is the love I have for them

and knowing it's not forced on them to be here,

with their Mum and Dad.

So enough of this reminiscing

I have a party to plan

so what are you doing reading this

Its almost Christmas time…..

Merry Christmas to everyone here. Regardless of your god or faith, I hope you spare a thought for loved ones who are sadly no longer here.
