Happy Holidays

H opes of great joy to all
A lways upon other families we call
P leased to share what we have with others
P laying children warm the hearts of all today
Y elling and laughter so happy what can we say

H appy thoughts as we remember days gone by
O ld folks telling others family stories oh my
L aughter ringing out thoughout the day
I' d have been a fool if I had not visited today
D eck The Halls one among the many songs being sung
A lways in the hearts of all today is baby Jesus
Y ou can feel the love for one another always
S inging praises to and about Jesus as we wish all "Happy Holidays"

That is a awesome poem Carol! I truely enjoyed it. Most of my poetry is on booksie. P laying children warm all the hearts today Could be changed on the 4th verse so you don't have the same verse in: A lways in the hearts of all today is baby Jesus Just a thought.
