The Colors of Christmas

Lorna



Bedeck with green

And the berries of December red

Over our heads white mistletoe

To reinforce the seasonal message of love

But add the brown of gravy

Over the cream of mashed potatoes please

And yes

Honey of the roasted onions

The yellow of the golden butter over the peas

Now let's hold hands around the festive table

Share the pink, brown, caramel, honey, black

Of our entwined flesh

Warm each other with a smile

And feel our little gathering most blessed

    Woah
    I am ready for the Christmas dinner
    Drooling over the delicacies dressed on the table
    Warm and happiness shall increase by leaps and bounds
    Merry Christmas dear Lorna

        • A.H. Browning

          Very nice.
          May you be blessed in all things in this new year (may we all be blessed a little or a lot)
          I’m trying to be good, but now, all I want is mashed potatoes with buttery brown gravy…
          Kindest Regards
