The Bag Lady

Inspired by the entry from Susi at iwrite her.com, I have to say thank you! You know who I’m talking about, this is for you. . .special people who gave me comfort and joy when I was not feeling the holiday spirits. I wish you all good health above all and a huge hug🤗. You were here for me.❤️

❄️❄️❄️

Not being or feeling my best

Different it seems from all the rest

Where’s Santa and the reindeer hooves

I can’t hear them on my roof

Feeling not so good spirit wise

But good friends opened my eyes

It’s not about you, you dope

It’s all about love and hope

Forget the typos and grammar correct

Light the lights put the tree erect

Troubles always are there, so forget

Enjoy the season and you’ll have no regrets.

❄️❄️❄️

‘Twas, ’twas? Oh well, it was

The night before Christmas

And all at my daughter’s

With presents to open

And to see all the others

Romance abounds in the frosty air

An engagement announced by a loving pair

This news makes the spirit appear

Sees other troubles all disappear

It’s the heart not the chimney or all the presents

Times like these we need that longed for essence

🎄🎄🎄

I lose it for a while, now and then,

That elusive spirit

The joy of the heart of Christmas

So many different ways to interpret those words

In my own heart it’s family, past and present

No Marley ghosts creep in, but there are ever present spirits

They leave as the new year begins, hoping we will move forward and begin anew.

“Mind the gauge, we don’t want to take that steep hill too fast.” The conductor winked at the boy, “don’t worry son, well make it!” The conductor always let his son accompany him on Christmas Eve. Every year since he was two years old, the boy could not wait to take the Polar Express with his dad.

“Watch for the curves, soon we’ll be at the lake, what an adventure that was last year, remember?” Suddenly the boy looked nervous, remembering the wild ride on the ice. “It will be fine. We have Santa’s magic to guide us. Now get yourself some hot chocolate and stop worrying.”

The boy entered the passenger compartment to hear everyone sing, “hot, hot hot” and some were dancing! He smiled and knew everything was going to be fine.

Keep eyes on the stars

Mind what may be possible

Don’t forget to hope

Up or down, across or sideways

Life offers some a ton of possibilities.

It’s the daring, the need to achieve, explore and adventure

If you see an interesting path, take it–

The first step in whatever direction you choose.

That’s the important part, the very first step.

Whether I’m fat or whether I’m thin

Just love me for the skin that I’m in

And as for brains and how mine works

Sometimes it balks and then it jerks.

One time it came loose from its screws

I ended up spouting vicious views

Most times I’m forgiving and nice

Sometimes tired, asking more than twice.

Monsters we be in different forms

But who wants to be considered the norm?

Of course I may have to prove that now and then

But after that I’m pretty tolerable again.

Obviously they haven’t read any recent blogs.🧐🤔

It took Cyranny to point out the cause of my lack of Christmas spirit – no tinsel on my tree. I knew it was something, just couldn’t put my finger on it.
