Walayee Poet Lay Whitlock-Ishway Poet Free verse

All I Want For Christmas

Everything I want is 
embedded in the eyes of my children
in smiles twinkling bright
as lights on the Christmas Tree
in gentle spirits full of giving 
filled with emotion and neighborly affections
in hugs that wrap my soul 
like a gift layered in love
Everything I want for Christmas
is in the eyes, smiles, spirits, and unconditional love of my children

Lay

The Situation December 22, 2011 at 6:08 PM this was a speech and i read it like it was with pride and conviction. and i felt your spirit and what these things ment the feeling we feel united as a people at christmas time. the time for giving and having something to give. yes we are blessed. lets pray for or help someone have the same feeling we have.
