My New Years resolution.

I feel like old Saint Nicholas
In fact I look ridiculous
I’ve eaten turkey, ham and cake
Never stopped for goodness sake.

Put on my shirt the buttons popped
Sat on the couch my backbone locked
It must have been that last mince pie
My jeans won’t go beyond my thigh.

I suppose to you it’s no surprise
For I haven’t done much exercise
For Twenty Three a new regime
I’ll start my diet-it’s just a dream.

On Christmas Day

Not an agnostic-an acrostic one

O ver the hills they came
N ot knowing their destiny

C amels laden with precious presents
H oping for a miracle
R ising up in the sky, a bright star
I nviting them to Bethlehem
S traw filled a lowly crib there
T o warm a newborn child
M essiah lies with Mary and Joseph
A way in a manger
S ending a message to the world

D estiny awaits
A ll Heavenly angels sing
Y es a Saviour is born. Alleluia.

Spread kindness ( acrostic )

Simple thought at Christmas time
Presents make heart bells chime
Ringing carols, angels sing
Every moment, joy you’ll bring
Dropping rainbows, colouring.

Kindness wells within the heart
Initiate why don’t you start
Never let that evil win
Deliver love make heartbeats spin
Naturally it will return
Every time you show concern
Stop squabbling, bickering, splitting hairs
Someone out there needs your prayers.

Jpoet7 ( wordverse.me )

A little kindness

Westerly winds whip wildly
Children school ward bound
Some cheerful others less so
Bent upon their way.

Some splash in muddy puddles
Skip happily, full of joy
While others walk with hunger
We should wonder why.

In this world of plenty
Are we not ashamed
Pointing fingers, shaking heads
We’re not the one to blame.

Silently without a noise
Food appears, clothes, toys
Presents placed beneath a tree
Spreading goodness silently.
