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

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
