Christmas Pleasures…
Enjoy! Each day’s life-treasures
Dare experience each
adventure-event God’s goodness daily offered
Dawn-dew, sunshine-cheer,
thunderstorm, snowdrift-sculpted coiffured
“Magic” dances, verifying
existence in one first flutter-flake
Beautiful as an emerald sea’s
white-foam receding wake
Blanket-comfort pristine cover on
created nearly-perfect world
Fantasy delight fires imagination
of every heart-young boy and girl
Stark surreal subtle silver
shadows blend in dark-light mirage play
Sky peach-blush-hue hints
portending enchanted fresh-fluff day
Chase dodging frozen flakes upon
warm tongue to tingle-cold
Crackle-fire, chocolate warm,
respite offer---dare challenge bold
Night-time, sweet love tight-hold
before toasty golden solace-flame
Blizzard howls lamented-cold;
refuses any futile effort to wild-tame
New Year calendar-itinerary
evolves natural into sweetheart’s time
Mid-winter anachronistic-thaw
teases spring promise-flavored mime
Ice skates clatter, sleds rocket
smooth, Christmas-delivered treasures, these
Valentine hearts, Ides of March,
St. Patrick’s leprechaun pleasures, please
Dawn seeks dusk extends
shadows-long in awesome greening sight
Yellow-bright dresses with
bunny-hops celebrate Easter-ham delight
Icy-freeze reluctant melts away;
sun rises warm; winter dissolved
Spring-time “reigns”! April
“showers”! Usher May “flowers”-evolved
Yellow morels pop, birds nest,
Red-ear sunfish initiate annual lake-spawn
I know a verdant grove; that
hidden cove; glimpse a doe, fresh-spotted fawn
Silent salute! Reverent memory!
Heart-tug band! Old Glory! Proud unfurled!
Honor all courageous
sacrificed-served; many times such redeemed our world
Diamond prepare, rake mound high,
chalk line straight; too late for momentum-stall
Red-seamed white-horsehide sails
in, bat-club cracks at umpire’s yell of-“Play ball!”
Kids frolic-swim in creek’s cool
hole; Robbins, Cardinals, Turtle Doves hatched
Wrens nest in porch-hanging
ferns; sore-muscled alfalfa workers rest, detached
Ancient Silver Maple dappled-shade
satiates like a cold-drink lemonade
Join child-delighted marching
band, flower-floats, Homecoming parade
Fiery-tailed rockets explode
ebony-night sky: Red! White! Blue! Designed it
One far reach to Christmas
delights; yet, gold, indeed, is where thee may find it
Sophomore pretty-Junior athlete duet-croon National
Anthem solemn tribute
Citizen! Attention-stand proud, nation-courage
cannot one ever honest-refute
Any reason for a nation-worthy to party, celebrate
collective focused fair Labor
U.S.A. gonfalon proudly waves: Faith! Family!
Freedom! God’s honored favor!
Spy puff-cotton clouds traverse
blue sky; westward brews lightning thunderstorm
Deluge drops pelt choppy-surfaced
lake; Flash! Crash! Echo! Wild summer norm
First day of school arrives, too
soon, intent to sure quell pure free fun
September clouds fluffy-white;
breathe deep of pleasure again begun
Red and gold, yellow-brown chase
leapfrog wind-tag in Mother’s game
Promised coming seasons-imaged
every blessed year reflecting the same
Clean and oil fall-tradition
weapons; anticipate white-tail venison play
Turkey, cranberries,
gravy-’taters, pumpkin-pie feast-Thanksgiving Day!
Anticipate soon-now unique
geometric frozen-flake surprise arrival-gift
Christmas Joy for each all year,
if adventure-event thee dare survival-sift
Spatter in: Happy Birthday!
Anniversary! An anytime tasty bar-b-que!
Celebrate His life-gift with
willing army or just a special-numbered few
Perhaps? The
“Independent-Individual” survived around an untruth “envelope”
Simple is! As Simple does!
Treasure-Pleasure! Happiness lived! Full-scope!
“What others think of me,
concerns not I”---trumps vacant, fleeting “celebrity”
Crystal-blue contact, a firm
handshake, true-bond respects purchased “integrity”
Those “Sacred”-secrets lifelong
sought? Right before thy self-obfuscated sight
Courageous challenge! Deny any
“boundary”! Live: Wish I may! Wish I might!
Then? Onward! Delight trek right
through to Christmas Eve special celebration
Alas! Serendipity! Each day be
Christmas! Comes His hallowed Revelation!
Amen!
Merry Christmas!

Day 347
Lauren’s
beautiful violin music &
Nanny squeaking
on her violin
That
our progeny is talented is obvious; get it from Candy; I might “play” a radio!?
Miss
Lauren took up the violin, a most difficult challenge, mastered it…quickly!
Anna
plays the piano, as does Miss Lexli-Lu; all three also play other instruments.
Nanny
(our Lovely Lady Candice Leah) plays the piano and also took up the violin.
Yea!
Z
Tyler is exceptional at sports excelling at golf, hockey and baseball. What a
star!?
Our
girls are perfect Ladies and Mothers;
kind, considerate, compassionate, generous.
Hmm!?---All
that talent causes simple-humble me
to wonder…how I ever got into this clan!?
You
know? I reckon others make that same interrogatory. Hmm!? Again!
Let the symphony
continue!
Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “I am the ‘always’ audience”
Memories!
