'Twas the night after Christmas and I lay curled up in bed With my hair wild and frizzy and my face a bright red I had cleaned and scrubbed floors, I had cooked and I'd baked I had done what I could; made curries and cakes I had gifted many presents and received many too From books and lip colours to green socks and red shoes I had prayed and thanked God for his love and kind ways I had prayed for mankind and for happier days But something was still missing - I felt it in the lull I felt restless and edgy, a wee lost, a tad dull I thought and I pondered - then it dawned upon me I was missing my poet friends, and writing poetry - So I wrote this little poem to send love across the seas Prosperous and healthy may you all always be I wish you much happiness, peace, hope and light -
And now to the West I wish a good day, to the East a good night.
I thank all the wonderful poets here for their support and encouragement. Thank you. Happy New Year! **
