Champaign wishes

Its Christmas eve
so much to be done.

I begin to bake my blueberry pie.
The snow is falling as the kids play outside.

Guests will begin arriving by 6.
I run through my list,
make sure there nothing I missed.
crab-cakes check
tarts check
crem brulee...hummm wheres the blowtorch...

"Ahh" I say with a light hearted sigh,
The stage has been set set for
pure celebration of all my hearts anticipation.

The wine flows and the carolers sing for one reason,
Sweet Jesus surly has blessed us this season.



All five kids are now snug in there beds,
The night before Christmas you have all ready read.

We put together the bikes for thing one and thing two
"Instructions not needed"? says you!

As you play Santa and slip the packages under the tree
I slip in to my red and white nightie.

Together we make this Christmas eve;
love to you and praise for me.

Merry Christmas!

    Nice job and the last made it seem kinda real. At first you made me think Dr. Suess no offense. Nice job and good luck in the contest.

    Your Authors Notes made me cry
    I ache for any woman that is not loved
    deeply by a man, this time of the year

    Read, "The Wonder of Life" as a small cure

      thank you so much, I suppose Im a strange breed. All I want and dream in life is to be a wife and mother, I made the mistake of marrying a drug addict and now I suffer all the harsh realties of his addiction.Even in the wake of seperation and impending devorise, we still suffer, but at least were on the road to freedome.
      I dont suppose I have ever been deeply loved by any man, out side of god. But there the hope and the dream that one day, I will have someone I care for who cares for me, and some of these fantisys I write may become in some version a reality.

        My Friend

        If I could have more than ONE
        I would choose you for your amasing heart

        I am not alone in this...
        Another will see you as you are
        and love you as you need, so deeply

        I will pray for you

        Rick
