The Mantle

Christmas would soon be Velvet trimmed quilted stocking With my name on it Anticipating Santa Clause Hung there at the fire place. Together celebrating Giving gifts of love Excitedly receiving Friends and family Remembering Jesus Christ Ó November 16, 2011 Dane Smith-Johnsen

Thank you so very much for reading my poetry and taking time to leave your comment. I appreciate you more than you might imagine. I have really enjoyed these few days that I have had the opportunity to write and read some poetry here on the soup. It’s great to be able to do so and hopefully, it will continue. But…life is about to be hectic once again…soon. I send my love. Sincerely, Dane Ann
