Poem
I. --- Paulette knew he'd love the present and Excitedly watched as he carefully took the box And opened the lid to reveal, her heart inside Crepe paper surrounded it, gently holding an Echocardiogram of her love for him Only last month, she was wheeled into the E.R. Now, the doctors said her prognosis was good Edward pulled the strip from the crepe nest And, alternated between it, and Paulette's smile Realizing that many years of her love lay ahead To wrap him, full, in life's greatest gift How could he adequately express his happiness? II. --- People oft lose their lighted sight Each winter solstice that annums around As days shrink some benevolence cooled Credit given where credit should not be found Economy trumps our brotherhood's cards On the holiday morning, when all is spread Near tree, menorah, prayer rug, symbol iconic Equal time, regarding the desolate neighbor As joys of family and friends ring the room Reaching inside ourselves can we reach To express the love our God implores Helping to remember, peace on Earth III. --- Pomegranates and oranges sluice sweet tang Even as members gather and sleepily greet Adults sit, small children excitedly flit about Carefully examining tags, boxes and stockings Eagerly they plead with eyes for permission Once you were that young too...that magical Now you point and sip tea or coffee, and smile Every generation brings its own traditions As a talisman to the next's memories to come Rife with sentiment, are day's mellow memories To ancient minds in some far future times Hardly believing that all those years transpired © Goode Guy 2011-12-10 "God bless us, everyone" - Tiny Tim for those unfamiliar... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acrostic
