About to turn a calendar page,
December has arrived here… quick!
Now if I can just think clearly
and make this rhyme … “click”
The holidays! Such a great time,
Hope you love them this year,
These lines then, maybe…
will give a bit of cheer.
Our four great grands … so excited,
It is everyone’s time to smile,
Just think of joy and blessings!
Sit … contemplate … for a while!
All you kids …Santa is busy!
Got that twinkle in his eye!
elves are working daily, … smile,
… as an Amazon truck rolls by!
Their parents are so busy!
My! how Bent & Stephanie cope!
Little Will, a whirlwind, and Sophia,
says Taylor Swift … is no joke!
Colin & Megan also run,
many directions, each & every day.
Sweet little Lizzy is just precious,
Grayson” genius”, his Pops did say.
They all enjoyed DISNEY time
just before a hurricane blows,
Safely home with many smiles,
and happy now they pose.
The news about grandson Ryan,
He and Amanda, looking so fine,
had a wedding … spectacular!
Beautiful! … and very special time.
Even a cruise to the Mediterranean
A honeymoon, such a delight!
They even bought a house!
A “home” … and started right!
Here are “Grammy & Poppe”!
Smiling as they do most days,
working on the place in “Bama”…
and RVing in the sun’s rays!
This is “Pops and Gram”
All is well, they can praise!
Their garden provides greatly,
“sure is ”work” ... they will say!
Not to bum you with medical,
those birthdays, and gray hair!
We expect it, and are glad to know
… our God really cares!
A stroke has Mae in recovery,
and PT is right for her now.
The” shake” … my arm still does it,
It’s ok … I can still fix … “chow”!
The “Vineyards” our new home is fine,
It fits our age and lifestyle.
We do miss the folks at Celebration,
And we visit them once in a while.
We think of our friends all over,
and grieve when one passes on,
This year, our friend Mickey Rizzuto,
hard to believe when they are gone.
Our family lost a dear one,
Certainly, she will be missed.
Mae’s cousin we all knew her,
And everyone called her “Sis.
Looking back ... counting blessings!
So many! our cup… “over the top”!
I might have to get a bigger one,
‘cause I don’t expect them to stop.
So, to all you folks who read this,
know that we remember with love,
You are the reason for our happiness,
and gratitude to our God above.
May your holiday be full of happiness,
and your new year … great to be alive!
Wishing you a life that is wonderful,
and a blessed … Two thousand Twenty-Five
