WAYNE’S WORDS
Volume 3 Number 29
Christmas
Twas the night before Christmas, throughout our small home
There was all kinds of noise, and the house I did roam.
The dryer was tumbling, the dishwasher ran too,
So I climbed into bed – what else could I do?
One cat and the dog were asleep with The Boy,
I hoped they were dreaming of much Christmas joy.
I tucked myself in, Seinfeld on my TV
I was all cozy, just my remote and me.
When outside my window was a noise that went “thump”
And when I first heard it – it caused me to jump.
No reason to get up because I knew the sound,
A loud system, a low-rider, tailpipes scraping the ground.
Christmas Videos were on VH-1
So I changed the channel to listen for fun.
There were songs about reindeer, presents and snow
And Jesus and Santa and Ho, Ho, Ho, Ho.
I thought off and on while Christmas songs played
I’d be glad when bad memories of this past year would fade.
It’d been so filled with heartbreak, oh so stressed
But our home became stronger, and with love we were blessed.
I thought of my son growing bigger each day
And when he was small on my chest he would lay.
Now almost a teen, he’s a genius, so smart
And filled with compassion, he has a great heart.
So, whether you’re close or far apart
Show family and friends and kids your true heart.
Just let them know that you love them all true
And real Christmas cheer will flow through you.
Merry Christmas
Until Next Time,
Wayne
