Political Christmas approaches
The stables are filled with the bray
Of animalistic impressionists
Who think they control us today.
But know in your heart it’s the small things –
The smiles we exchange in the street
The warmth of a hand on a cold day
A kindness, a cuddle, a treat –
It’s these things that fill up our stockings
And give us the strength to go on,
Let’s share out our loving this Christmas
And hurry glad tidings along.

Wishing you a happy, healthy and safe Holiday season for you and yours! 🙂
Thank you! Merry Christmas xxxx
Julia, dear. It is wonderful to hear from you again! Merry Christmas to you, also. I continue to follow your poetry with great joy (and, to be honest, much envy). I love how you make us smile and break our hearts, sometimes in the same piece and even at the same time.
Thank you for your kind words – it’s fun to be here. I hope to navigate through time better next year, having learned a few lessons! Keep safe xxxx
