Gifts Come At This Time Of Year
Then there is so much more my Dear
I got to spend time with family and friends
that is the best gift of any and it sends
me into a spin and tends
to minimize other things.
I loved the gifts this year, a book of poetry
A bag that folds up and I can try
to fold it myself
Beautiful lotion
That reminds me of the ocean
A purse that was a good notion
A beautiful book mark to see
Another book to write about me, his mommy
A phone with much more space, from the least space to the most
And I got tickets to a puppet show of the Golden Girls roast
Complete with dinner and a pedicure
how cool is that with my girl, it will be for sure a cure!
I am truly excited about all of these and ahem,
I’m not sure anyone else was excited about what I got them.
It wasn’t my best year, well, these last two years.
I didn’t wrap, I didn’t remember everything, yes jeers.
I gave too many gift cards, that I called gift certificates to tout.
And my grandson didn’t know what I was talking about!
Next year will be better, well, maybe not, getting older, I am
I remember we spent hours over puzzles and playing cards
Then some of us were playing in the neighbors yards.
I know I got granny panties when I was young from Gram.
I whined about the panties, and mom said, it is the thought that counts
What amounts
to don’t cry, grandma is old.
So I guess I was told.
Peace and love, the best gifts of all I say.
This is about all I have to say today
other than Happy holidays to you and yours on this day!
