Diamonds

Remember my friends

You have to

Shovel a lot

Of coal to

Either find a

Or be found

As a diamond

CashedOut

Where’s my forever gone

I blinked it disappeared

Lost in a lifetime

Of love and relationships

Given to others sometimes

As easily as withdrawing

Cash from an ATM

While a few others

A long term investment

That I watched evaporate

During a mid-life crash

And now as I

Stare into my what’s

Left in my piggy

Bank of affection I

Carefully count my pennies

Eggnogs

What’s in eggnog anyway

Or a hot toddy

Oh I do know

How they are made

But what’s in them

Let me tell you

One long delicious lifetime

Of holidays with you

Happy Holidays my love

HappyHappyHolidays!

Now there’s nothing quite

Like some hot cocoa

Snow falling holiday jazz

You wearing sweatpants and

A Ho Ho Ho

Sweater struggling with strands

And strands and STRANDS

Of on now off

Now on now lights

As I watch you

Grow red with frustration

When I suddenly pull

You into my lap

And tell you quietly

Into your throat that

This is my absolute

Favorite part of Christmas

❤️

Love always finds

The heart to

Which it belongs

Be patient heart
