Christmas Spirit

WriteBeLight

I’ve got the Christmas Spirit.

Want to do crazy things.

In a dead-quiet library,

Stand on a chair and sing.

 

The acoustics there,

Be perfect, it seems.

I’d belt out a song,

Sounds like goat screams.

 

I’ve got the Christmas Spirit,

Missed the poignant meaning,

In a young poet’s writing.

My thought was fleeting.

 

So, I’ll stand corrected.

I apologize.

Was looking through,

Christmas Spirit eyes.

 

I’ve got the Christmas Spirit.

My heart’s light and fluffy.

I smile at people,

Looking stuck-up and stuffy.

 

But, I’ll understand.

They’re from a different place.

Not a life like mine.

Not the same issues to face.

 

I’ve got the Christmas Spirit.

Think of those without.

Not warm and dry.

In a safe, secure home.

 

So, I’ll ask Santa.

God and the Universe.

To use their powers,

Make their situation reversed.

 

I hope you’re in the Spirit.

All is good in your world.

Your best is still to come.

There’s no more turmoil.

 

That you get that promotion,

A big fat pay raise.

Out of a bad relationship,

Move towards happy days.

 

Each day you wake up,

Right away you’ll find.

Your worries are gone,

You have peace of mind.

 

And, cross my heart,

Look to heaven above,

That never, never, ever,

Think that you’re not loved.

      You are a sweet heart to your hubby and kids and all whom you love in your life!!! Merry Merry Christmas my poet friendπŸ˜‡

        Indeed, Merry Christmas to you! (oh i wish I could make those cute little faces u make! Is that a nurse emoji?) Thanks for the kind words. They meant a lot. And I'm sure you are the same way with your loved ones.

        The smiley is a halo over its head which I sent to you as nurses are very much Angelic! And I am fortunate to have my family near tonight. Sometimes I use a laptop which do not have the emoji and other times I use an I pad that has them. But I guess if one is good with a key board they can create them. I have yet to do the lap top key board one. But I wish you the very best this Christmas Eve!!! I will practice that! You are a great person who I know will continue to be the best Mom for her family. Merry Merry kiddo!πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡πŸ˜‡

          I'm aware of the people who are unfortunate enough not to have the experience of being loved at such a special time over the festive period. your poem brought a tear to my eye for those lonely people which you helped remind us of. a very well expressed bit of writing. top marks..

            Thank you very much Kevin. I know people like that, as well. I very much appreciate your comment...:)

              keep the good work up and keep spreading the love and the care towards these people who are in so much desperation for food, warmth and all the things we pass off as nothing when in fact it can help someone somewhere.

              • WriteBeLight

                I agree and I will keep them in my thoughts and prayers. Thanks so much.
