Merry Christmas Everyone!

2008 Poem

Some new additions
Some demolitions
Isn’t that what life is all about?
Keeping the good in and letting the bad out

My kitchen was gutted, my old carpet tossed
1988 Country Blue was all that I lost
Now my appliances fit and have a mod look
I could just stay all day, but then I’d have to cook

My favorite date this year was the sixth of May
Sweet Molly Karison was born that day
She joins her 2 sisters; which makes 3 nieces for me
Button, Zip & Snap- how lucky can one Aunt be

My Nana and I went to Seattle in June, oh what a flight
We got stuck in Atlanta, no plane in sight
But we got to see Molly’s blessing, oh what a treat
She was dressed in white, from her lil’ head to her lil’ feet

I did some soul searching about my future in June
Should I go back to school to be a teacher? I must act soon
So into college I enrolled, I now have 2 quarters done
Working all day and school 4 night a week, it’s actually fun

So after a 24-year crush, what would suffice?
I finally saw George Michael, not once but twice
In Chicago and Atlanta and just 3 weeks apart
A dream come true, luckily I have a strong heart

My family is happy, healthy and strong
I love them even if we don’t get along
Everyday comes with challenges and even some smiles
I wouldn’t change much, except the distance of miles

So as you go about this Merry Christmas Season
Know you are on my mind for no special reason
Except that to me you are someone exceptional
Fun, sweet, silly and a little dysfunctional
