Poem Title:
Poem
20 November 2010 By: Noel N. Villarosa It’s been four years, away from my sweet home during Christmas day Where I should share the family tradition at twelve and cheer To fix my webcam and headphone, and come what may Welcome to my "Holiday Home" at this special time of year. My wife and son displaying a warmth in their smile, reaching hands With sluggish movements and static sound, trying to project it clear At the peak of use of the internet, bandwidth traffic, I tried to withstand Welcome to my "Holiday Home" at this special time of year. My wife with hand-held webcam tried to rotate to tour me inside They have fixed old Christmas tree and angels as a pendant for a bright nightwear At the base, a glimpse of wrapped gifts with laces soon to be untied Welcome to my "Holiday Home" at this special time of year. I can hear voices of children doing their caroling Barking dogs seem would like to join as their backup singer My wife whispered to my son, ‘please give these coins as a sign for thanking’ Welcome to my "Holiday Home" at this special time of year. The threshold of a doorway, visitors do come and bringing gifts The elders incite parlor games with special gifts and cash to stir Only happened after the family went to a midnight mass for spiritual uplift Welcome to my "Holiday Home" at this special time of year. A portrait of the Holy Family on the first Christmas Eve Within that stable, baby Jesus was lying in a manger On Christmas Eve, Jesus will visit every home and this is to believe Welcome to my "Holiday Home" at this special time of year. 5TH place in "HOLIDAY HOME" contest Contest Date: 12/16/2010 Sponsored by: Linda-Marie The Sweetheart of P.S.
