Shakespeare verses Conan Doyle.

Goldfinch60

It was Christmas Day,

The girls arrived.

One daughter,

Two granddaughters,

Joined my wife and I

For that special day.

The presents were given,

And at the end

There before me were three books.

One a book of haiku,

A slim volume with beautiful words.

The second was a wonderful tome,

The Shakespeare Sonnets

With beautiful artwork

Adorning each page.

The third was a bigger tome,

The Complete Sherlock Holmes

The gilded edges gleamed in the light.

Wonderful presents

From wonderful granddaughters.

The love from all of us

Pervaded the room.

The family at peace

As we join together in love,

Join together in joy,

Join together as family.

 

I may be lost for the next year,

I have reading to do!
