Happy Holidays...

I wrote this Christmas poem this morning:

Over the fireplace, hung with care,

Were stockings with gifts for all who were there.

For Grandpa a pint of his favorite rum.

For Grandma a new song for her to hum.

For Papa a pack of his favorite cigars

For Mama a bag of her favorite fig bars.

For Johnny a pistol and a roll of caps.

For little Suzie a dolly that takes naps.

But for baby ******* his stocking hung bare.

Though we searched and we searched almost everywhere.

The gift he wanted even Santa couldn't find.

Peace on Earth and Goodwill to Mankind.

One day, Noel, maybe one day. 

Noel, you are indeed talented. I absolutely love your poem.  Also, your NAME is more than appropriate for the Christmas season.

Could be because my birthday is on Christmas Day.

Beautiful poem, Noel.  Peace on earth is certainly not happening now, but one day it will happen.

Nice Poem! Really appreciate you! I was attracted by the topic "Happy Holidays" just because myself being a medical practitioner, moreover a surgeon, we don't get holidays and have to work day and night. Just we get a little off on the Christmas Day!

Merry Christmas to everyone in advance!
