Best Celebrations Poems
Time to foster your relations
With thanksgiving celebrations.
With family reminisce past,
All our love now remembering
Come together watch our hearts sing.
Nothing earthly will ever last,
Time to foster your relations
With thanksgiving celebrations.
If stumbling stones stand in your way
Remove them this Thanksgiving Day.
With family reminisce past,
Nothing earthly will ever last.
Time to foster your relations
With thanksgiving celebrations.

*** OF AND ABOUT IT ALL ***
Life’s so much a-coming or a-going,
With hours of waiting or flowing
From now to next
While we step about, hopefully blessed —
On a quest for things major or minor to cherish
In our sometimes to come. We sojourn thence
From this place over to a rushing creek’s edged cliffs—
To linger, to draw some solace, some rest…
And there, we see suddenly manifest:
The sacred red rose, growing
Near, beautifully on high,
Surrounded by the flames of our worship-full prayers.
Life’s a range of highs and lows waving
Aside the roads that fork and lead ventures
Along moss-lined knowns
Or beneath shaded canopies of unknowns.
Our searching, dawn-to-dawn roamings
Carry life’s tales of getting and giving;
Suffering and forgiving;
Ever grateful for living and breathing.
Life brings mapped ways that vacillate
Over ranges of changes; lessons
And puzzles; ideas, moods and feelings
Immersed in working and dreaming of someday
Realizing true love — wondrous, sweet.
From birth and learning to stand, to speak…On to
Old-age dimming our eyesight as happens…
Even to such gifted artists as
Edgar Degas, Mary Cassatt, and Claude Monet.
Yet, they went on painting masterpieces, nearly blind —
With God’s inspiration helping them to find
A new approach, perceiving and creating
With their Inner Eyes.
Life’s an orbiting
Between reality and imagining;
Between perchance and possibly —
Between the often said, “If-only’s…”
And the magical, “Look there
At what’s already appeared.”
Life’s a calendar of playing and celebrating,
But includes sad times and final wakes…T’is
Somewhat a dizzying dance of circling turns,
Of rounding passes for however long
Until that unknown day of going on beyond…
Taking our storied hours along,
Relating how we stayed
Alligned to God’s willed ways,
For the good of the All and Everlasting,
From our toddling time
To our leaping with starlit promises
To compose a delighting song,
Unfurl wings and fly —
Eternal

Written to Bocchenini’s Cello Concerto in B-flat major
Thanks be to God…
When lanterns paint the sky,
I'll weave tulsi trinkets, celebrate divine sight~
while stars fly..
Wings of new moon,
flare as festivals of delight,
in tune.
We praise,
eternal light~
rays.
When lanterns paint the sky,
flare as festivals of delight~
rays.
With cheerful hearts we join in celebrations
in our simple, quiet upstate town
and Main Streets' decorations look so pretty
laced with the snowflakes that are falling down
We'll take a ride to look at all the houses
that delight us with their bright displays
and when we go downtown to do some shopping
we hum to carols that the speakers play
On Christmas Eve we gather with our neighbors
with our families and beloved friends
and happily as we are joined together
our hearts fill with the joy this season sends
As we are sharing goodies and our laughter
Christmas songs play on the radio*
These simple celebrations are a treasure
that I have been so blessed to come to know
*One tradition that I love in the small upstate
New York town I live in is that our local radio station
plays Christmas music from Christmas Eve through
Christmas Day and always seems to be a part of our
gatherings. They play music on Main Street throughout
the year but the Christmas tunes are always the loveliest!
Inspired by Carolyn Devonshires' Christmas in Your Town contest
See how Christmas fete on earth
Indians will walk to the mass
Enjoy curries and sweets enmass
Australians hang wreaths girthed
Here Santa gives rest to reindeer
Changes dress for less ”hot” with cheer.
Chinese light streets and stores with mirth
Santa is called “Shen Dan Lao Ren”
In shops only the grottos plain.
Yule logs burned in French hearth
With food left, the logs burn all night
In case Jesus comes in the night.
Russians fast till first star rebirths
Then break fast with Kutia eating
For good luck throw some up ceiling.
Ways and approach differ on earth
Call him Christ, Gud, Gott, dieu,dio, God
Ishwar, Allah, he’s the same lord.
See how Christmas fete on earth
Australians hang wreathes girthed
Chinese light streets and stores with mirth
Yule logs burned in French hearth
Russians fast till first star rebirths
Ways and approach differ on earth

It was dusk and eerie, rain dripped from
Leaves that rustled in the trees
Of the nearby woods, each shadow cast
A reminder that danger lurked about!
A shrill scream cut through the darkness,
Bringing with it fear and dread,
A certain warning, that murder was the mood!
A fox sneaked back into its hole,
As a snake slithered in after it and the
Rain turned into a torrential downfall
Lightening was the only form of light
In this frightening scenario, the thunder
Boomed forth, as the storm came nearer
And nearer, until another scream was heard!
The storm abated and stopped and the
Moon lit up the sky as did the many stars!
It was the 20th March, and the Pagans were
Celebrating the Spring Equinox, so they
Danced around a fire, reason, ritual fertility rites
The vampires were also aware of this festival,
Hiding, Drooling, and fiercely hungry !
Their sharp dirty teeth glinting in the midnight
Moonlight, their filthy rags already soaked
In blood as they had snacked on latecomers.
The pagans unaware of their pending plight
Screeched and screamed, as the vampires
Fell upon them chaos ruled, as they drained
Their blood, leaving them dead, and shriveled.
Overfed, they forgot that dawn was nigh,
The sun now showing, the vampires scampered
Away, like cockroaches hiding their ugly bloody faces
From the sudden sunlight engulfing them, but their greedy
Feast resulted in karma for these haunting, daunting
Monsters, then came the werewolves and finished off the
Skeletal Leftovers! Don’t visit the woods on the 1st May!
Football becomes the talk of the town
In every nook and corner, World Cup is known
Everyone expects the dawn of that day
With emotions engulfed, exhausting to say
One country hosts the entire series
Everyone honors it, tho' culture varies
For the ball, everyone run
Football floods to feed the fun!
Each one has his own goal
Every stroke aims to achieve a goal
Whole world cheers against every kick
Each effort enhances everyone's kick
Failure may frustrate
But the spirit to try again shall generate
Every action of a player is commented
Every moment of the game is documented
Sports is to unite and celebrate the life
No exception whether you are a scholar or housewife
Success knocks when you are clever and braver
Such tested teachings of football holds good forever
Global life revolves around the ball
Football fever fetters the flesh and soul to fall
World cheers FIFA's football festival
Let's unite and celebrate on it's arrival !
Nostalgic about moving-on moments
my mind lingers at throwback scenes
milestones surpassing oblivion challenge.
1974... Kindergarten toga and cap propelled my steps
toward big brother’s elementary campus
midst anticipation of sumptuous recess-snacks.
1981... Triumphantly leading alma mater pledge
I then saluted fellow graduates
eager to roam along high school corridors.
1985... Absorbed by prepared valedictory address
my heart could never stop tears, yet I managed still
since commencement song would soon reverberate.
1989... Grateful to parents, my perpetual mentors
I handed their partnership university diploma and cum laude pin
delighting them for scholarship returns, indeed grants from the Lord.
1999... Charged with “Enter to learn, go forth to serve” pursuits
my faith accepted Bible College graduation's quest
Thus, I press* on, furthering kingdom of God --- all by His grace.
*Philippians 3:14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

It’s a beautiful day in December
With a lovely misty haze
I’m finally on my way
To celebrate New Year again
Let’s hope this year brings peace
The war’s and violence seize
With lots of laughs and lot’s of dance
And beautiful sparkling dreams
You see there’s gonna be a party
Like you’ve never seen
Celebrations all around the world
To bring in twenty seventeen
And when that clock strikes midnight
The New Year is gonna be born
Are you ready for auld lang syne
And dancing to the break of dawn
So I’m wishing everybody good luck
For this coming New Year
Let’s see it in safe and sound
And with lots of seasonal cheers
Have a good Time And Happy New Year

Celebrate the earth and its creations best,
Celebrate the changing seasons dressed,
Like sleeping beauty in her rest,
Peacefully sleeping awaiting her guest,
The prince’s seasonal times have come,
Laying his snow, till winter is done,
Awaking her sleep, with the warmth of a kiss,
Shinning his love! Oh what a bliss,
He’s roams the earth and finds her there,
Takes hold of her hand! A spring in the air,
Planting his seeds, with creations of flare,
Mother Nature! Bringing her fanfare,
Fetching new growth planting his ware,
Blooms of color a splendor of glare,
Her summer’s leaves starting to grow,
Sprouting with shoots colors to show,
His love came to her, the story foretold,
With kisses of love, awaking her soul,
She rises to him, her beauty arrives,
Flowers from deep,
Life's nature!
Resurrection from sleep.

THERE ARE ALWAYS CELEBRATIONS COMING UP...BEEN GOING ON SINCE GOD'S DOG WAS A PUP
The manner in which humans celebrate an
outstanding occasion
Is to focus on an object to mark the situation
Eats and decorations are the way things are done
There are several outstanding contenders
ranking as No.One
These things can be shrubs or saplings, butts and birds
Although People are unable to connect these words
Trees, hogs and birds are the usual choices
You'll hear the puzzlement in all human voices
A shrub or sapling? are you out of your tree
A bird? What sort of bird would that be?
And I think mentioned the butt of a hog?
Surely you joke, are you dense as a log?
Of course with an explanation it becomes
clear
These somethings to humans mean holidays are near
But all these things have one thing in common
The only way to use 'em is you have to kill 'em
I can hear it now as the cry goes around
A tree? You're worried about chopping a tree down?
A tree was alive many years in the ground
It did more good than the ones chopping it down
It's place in the forest kept everything sound
As for the animals, a pig, cow, fish or bird
Their lives were taken for reasons you've heard
Taking lives to celebrate special days
Proves humanity hasn't yet come out of their caves
Come along everyone and let us celebrate
An anniversary of importance. The date?
Next July First! A day that will soon be here,
And one all will remember. It’s very clear
Dates like this determine a National celebration
As befits a proud and independent nation.
Scores of excited citizens, coast to coast to coast,
Seek to make their personal plans to host
Events and fete visitors from everywhere.
Searching for ways by which they can share
Quietly with family, or in grandiose public display!
Undoubtedly this for them, will be a very special day
In the recorded annuals of our country's history.
Canada is regarded by many as a friendly society,
Even though there are indigenous issues to fix,
No one lives in fear, despite our eclectic mix!
There’s tolerant understanding and diversity:
Equal rights and freedom of religious variety.
No one has cause to fear racist, sectarian woes!
Now in the land of fast disappearing snows
Is the time for citizens to plan a day of harmony
And prepare to celebrate the freedom and civility
Lauded by many others as a worthy epitome!
Clasping hands with neighbours in celebration;
Embracing new cultures strengthens a Nation.
Let the world know we`re proud of a Heritage
Envied by many, for we enjoy Freedoms in an age
Beset with conflict and violence! Living in unity,
Raising families in a safe and loving community
Allows citizens to follow their choosing - racism denied.
This further strengthens a Nation when tolerance is applied.
Integrating newcomers into a society of free religious preference,
Offers safe sanctuary to those persecuted by bigotted offence.
Now is the perfect time for All Canadians to stand and proudly say:
Sesquicentennial celebrations will show “ours” is the Better Way!

(Sesquicentennial is the term used to define or specify a 150th Anniversary.)
I’d just finished my fall-term exams. I felt at once both played-out and relieved.
Ever felt like just falling over? Didn’t I deserve that small treat after what I’d achieved?
No doubt our floor was dirty but dust, in blonde hair, isn’t easily perceived.
I was lying, relaxed, on the cool common room floor in sedate prostration
when my boyfriend arrived. He was eager for some post-exam reunification
but I lacked the energy for synergy, the motivation for combination
or even flirtation. Which left him grumbling with male frustration.
He suggested, “Why don’t we go out for some libation?”
Oh, what a smooth-talker - that’s practically a direct quotation.
“Oh, sure,” I said, “ply me with booze and into temptation!”
Side stepping that, he proclaimed, “It’s time to celebrate and the start of vacation!”
I held up my hands and he pulled me upright, “Ok.” I said in resigned assignation.
A shower and change of clothes soon had me refreshed and reanimated.
How sad I’d have been to miss the end of term conversations imbued by holiday decorations
and I offer this to you, my small, winter, college-based narration.
In the hope that you’ll be inspired, even if you’re tired, to celebrate your own holiday occasions.
Happy Holidays Everyone!
From the beginning of a new year right to the very end of it, there's something that brings people together in ways that makes our world all that much better. Something that's been going on ever since the beginning of celebration. Whether it be a cause for life, birth, death, holiday or anything that brings groups of people together to share smiles, laughs, and joy. Birthday's- give us parties with family and friends, an event where everyone sings together and shares a celebratory cake as they all watch the new year olds close their eyes and blow out candles wishing for that hopeful wish to come true. Everyone smiles and claps as the last candle has been blown out. Mutual feelings of love are shared with everyone from the youngest child to the oldest grandparent. Even strangers, if out somewhere, will join in and sing the celebratory song-"Happy Birthday To You" Birth- From the moment the newborn comes out of the womb to the first smack on his/her tiny little rear-ends (butts or ghoulies as my mother would call it). Smiles and happiness are an instant welcome from the over-joyed parents, family, doctors and nurses. "Welcome To The World Little Ones" Death- Even at times of sadness we celebrate the life and death of a loved one as it brings loved ones together to share happy memories of those they have lost. And then there are- Holidays- These are my favorite times of the year, times when people all over the globe collaborate in mass celebrations by singing, dancing, decorating and showing and sharing their love and kindness to most everyone they come in contact with or talk to on that special occasion. Celebration- without celebration our world would be tasteless and boring and unfortunately there would be a whole heck of a lot less smiles going around. Smiles- it's what the world needs now, tomorrow, and till the end of our time here on earth. "Smile On"
Whatever the month or time of the year it is, it is these occasions that bring joy to my soul and love to my heart.

Christmas Day Celebrations
by Robert (Bob) Moore © 2015
Are we still a Christian country, free to celebrate our way
and call those celebrations, more than just a holiday
the 25th of December, was decided long ago
to celebrate the birth of Jesus, and it is still so
We should say Merry Christmas, not Happy Holiday
not let the PC people, and their ideologies hold sway
I call myself a Christian, though Religion is not my thing
but anyone who goes to church, then raise your voice and sing
Sing to God if you want to, and worship all you will
you have the right, you have the faith, you have the freedom still
to praise the way that you see fit, and do it your own way
and celebrate the birth of Christ, and call it Christmas Day
And while we are still a Christian country, to those who don’t believe
I say visit a Christian family, I am certain you’ll receive
A very warm welcome, on this their Holy Day,
just as Jesus taught them, each one finds their own way
To practice Peace and Tolerance, toward your fellow man
no matter how he worships, and show him if you can
the meaning of the way you love The Christ in your own way
and why this day will never be, just another holiday.
