Just 2 days apart !!
NOTE:
With every candle you blow out today, remember that you brighten up many lives...
Happy
Birthday!
***************
And...
Can't
forget that the 6th of January
was someone's b'day, as well !!
Today I did bundle
The 'festive' away;
Bright greens and reds
Fade from
view...
There's snow on the rooftops,
There's ice on the flue;
The New Year
has marked
Its debut.
Yet, stars
can revisit
The shimmer of lights;
Moonlight can warm
Chilly nights;
January doldrums
Need never succeed;
Delight(!) in our
Plain
'winter whites'!!
Our special
grandson turns '5'
WE HOPE YOUR BIRTHDAY IS
AS SPECIAL AS YOU ARE !!
Oh What Birthday Bliss !!
Old '23 is now dead and gone;
New '24 gets to croon its own song.
An 'elderly year' has screeched to a halt;
Let not this 'new year' [our senses] assault
!!!
poem by L.P.-G. / 1-1-2024
They
DO not need to sparkle,
Or
make an awesome sound;
The
Xmas gifts that MOST delight
Are those
I deem 'profound'.
They
come from hugging loved ones,
And
children's winsome smiles;
They
draw from sacred memories
Traversing
hallowed miles.
There's
magic when a carol's sung,
Sweet
mystery within hymns;
There's
harmony when snowflakes fall
And
dust our window trim.
Although
I treasure festive lights
And
candles burnt down low,
It's cherished,
joyful holidays
That
bring the greatest glow !!
