ODD SOCKS WITH VARIED DESIGNS
Fascinated with socks, my special child is enthralled with varied designs
thus, here am I, pampering his quest along different colors and lines:
On Mondays are red socks with strawberries and blue berries
while Tuesdays are socks of cars midst transportation stories...
Wednesdays propel me to prepare socks of black with white dots
as Thursdays are for those blue ones embossed with gray spots...
Fridays make me search for yellow or orange, very bright
then on Saturdays can be for brown with green check marks; that's right.
Sundays are for socks given as Christmas presents with mirth
along message, CHRIST the Saviour* grants love gift of eternal worth.
These are precious times of sorting socks in a manner that's vibrant
as jubilant son and Mom thank God for His grace so abundant.
Though this may seem exaggerated along poetic jest
indeed, sock sorting with my child needs patient zest.
*Luke 2:11 For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Saviour, which is Christ the Lord.
