TWELVE DRUMMERS DRUMMING

TWELVE DRUMMERS
 DRUMMING

tonight wrapped up a MIRACLE of miracles

my hope was to put a little

book together to leave

at the door

so that through the years

the TRUE LOVES

could reflect

and remember

the absolute 

joy 

and 

blessings

THEY

brought itno our home

i was too late

while out on my errands

the true loves stopped by

one last time

there at the door was an adorable
santa card

the card read

"on the 12th day of christmas
my true love gave to me
12 ice cream drumsticks
(ingenious)

and an envelope
with 12 twenty's

(incredible)

and a remote control for noah"

(thoughtful)

i do not know

what we have done to receive

so much

it is unfathomable

and yet i am here to say

it was not a dream

it happened

the lord knows 

of our gratitude

and the desire

that

the giver

of these wonderful gifts

be blessed a hundred fold

thank you
true loves, angels, and miracles
 may you enjoy
the gift of  eternal
PEACE

DINNER, LIGHTS, TEN LORDS A LEAPING

we missed the knock this evening

as we continued

a christmas 

tradition 

with grandma garff

mom and dad

at the 

chuck-a-rama

(i guess it is a tradition for many

unbelievably crowded)

what fun we had

as we rehearsed

hilarious memories

grandma garff

had beautiful christmas

decorations

and appreciated the opportunity

to share this beauty

with someone

we were thrilled to be the someones

on the way home

a street of lights

with the christmas 

countdown

when we returned

there at our door 

was a bucket

the note read

"TEN LORDS 

of the hobbit LEAPING

over the sewer pipes..."

a receipt

(no way...to good to be true)

toilet bowl cleaner

and a gift coupon to the movies

could we feel more blessed?

LAST NIGHT ANGELS...TODAY MIRACLES

noah has been telling

his friends at school

about "the twelve

 days" that have been

knocking at our door

the excitement and magic

of christmas beams

from his little boy heart

how i will ever be able to

express gratitude

and return the kindness completely

escapes me

tonight

a gift bag full of things

that will give one ENERGY

ENERGY sports drink

power bar ENERGY snacks

and of course chocolate

but there was something

rather unusual

plastic easter

 eggs???

the envelope read

"open the eggs first"

there was a special something

inside each egg

and a miracle on a pink slip

of paper

the card read

on the sixth day of christmas

my true love gave to me...

6 geese a laying

who laid eggs with 

SOLUTIONS

to my

ENERGY

noah 

overjoyed called his grandparents

immediately

i sat on the couch

jaw dropped and speechless

which in and of itself was a miracle

last night

i believed in angels

today

i believe in miracles
