Twas the morning of Christmas
And all through the house
One creature was zooming
But not after a mouse
Sonu Singh stared at the presents with glee
“I wonder which wrapped up box is for me?”
The teens still lay, sleeping,
And Daddy, too
“Well, kitty,” said Mummy, “it’s just me and you.”
She scritched his head, and he settled beside her
The only sound audible, his gentle purr
Enjoying the calm before the madness
A book and a cuppa, Christmas morn gladness
She sat and reflected on Chrismases past
When the the kids rose early,
Presents unwrapped fast
“They’re growing older, and so are we,”
She took a sip from her mug of tea
Then, from a bedroom she heard a creak
Teen 1 descended, placed a kiss on her cheek.
A gruff Merry Christmas then off for some food
The first meal of many, she felt the festive mood
Slowly but surely the rest awoke
Gathered together, softly, she spoke,
“It’s a time for family, love and giving,
Time to remember those gone, and those living.
Enjoy your presents, the food, with pleasure
And be grateful we’re all sat, together.”
And those wishes extend to all of you reading, too
I only wish for the best for you
May your stockings be full, wishes granted, I pray
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good day!
But I Smile Anyway...
