Holiday Wishes 2009

The words of a very good friend …

Twas just days before X-mas
And all through the land
Folks are scurrying about
With their holiday treasures in hand.

I sit and I look
At another year gone by
I take moment to think
Reflect and can’t help but just sigh….

The world has moved on
New president and era is born
With high hopes for change
Including healthcare reform.

My town unfortunately lost
A 2016 Olympic bid
But I feel the city still to me
In my heart will always win.

We’ve lost Michael, Farrah
And dear old Pat
But most importantly I tear up as I think
How I lost someone so dear to my heart.

She’ll forever be close
As her spirit lives on
But can’t help but miss her
When I again realize one of my best friends is gone.

Despite my deep sadness
My family has been blessed
My brother got married
And our new extended family is just the best.

A new sister-in-law, she came
with a nephew and niece
My very own sister had a baby
Can’t get enough of our new dear little Abbi.

This year my heart felt pain,
And sadness and joy,
It’s funny you’re never too old
To let your heart continue to grow.

I say it each year
How lucky I am
Amazingly loving family
And nothing but the best of friends.

So come on it’s not hard
You can figure it out
Even the Grinch and Scrooge
Realized what it is all about.

So come on and help me spread some love
And holiday cheer
Merry Christmas
Happy Holidays
Happy Hanukkah
And a fantastic and fun filled New Year!
