Tinsel
All was so quiet Christmas morn
after the robbery Christmas Eve
We spent that night, all in one room
And pondered “why’s” about the thieves
No doll for Linleigh, no games for Matt
Closing my eyes these were my dreams
No bike for Tylar, no pup for Trae
No joys that Christmas always brings
So very quiet when I arose
To see Mercedi sitting here
involved in wrapping ‘round her finger
One strand of tinsel left unaware
Slowly awakening sleepy eyes
Said Merry Christmas to all
With smiles on their faces to my surprise
Without stockings on the wall
Dad made a breakfast, an omelette delight
Then we all got dressed for the day
With no presents to open I wondered
How the children remained calm and gay
Giggling quickly turned into grand laughter
Coming from the family den
Dad and I peeked ‘round the corner to see
Children passing that tinsel again and again

Each child was handing the strand to the next
And who held it was telling a tale
Of Christmas’s past and our family
And how silliness always prevailed
Dad and I joined in with eggnog
And the kids sipped on coco (a must)
And we realized those thieves did a favor
In giving us back our Christmas
{yes, all the names chosen are my children *^_^*}

I like the way you have put together the things we should all have on Christmas. And actually all the time, for that matter. One uplifting the other, around the room, then around town, around the state, around the country, then around the whole world.
ps, I tried to give you 2 stars, but it kept taking it away, so I settled for 1. Huggles n Squeezles.

The issues is it is not a remember of no longer being concerned approximately seems, even though it is approximately distinctive tastes. some human beings could locate Robbie Williams as an occasion relatively good looking, yet some does no longer... So it is that some would locate one man or woman superb and others would possibly no longer. seems do no longer remember to me for my section, it is approximately who they're, no longer what they provide the effect of being like!

Sentimental as a Norman Rockwell painting.

i love it, it's not from real life this Christmas i hope? it really does make you think about the real meaning of Christmas and not all the commercialism. and it shows how strong the family bond is, and how one tragedy connects them even stronger. god bless.

This is a nice Christmas Poem
it talks about people getting together
as well as what they would get for this day
or would have.
No thanks to someone who robbed
there were no gifts.
