The tiny acorn
Grows into a mighty oak
Daring to be bold

Each strand so carefully
Strung on the tree
I would watch her in awe
And all I could see
Was the loving expression
On her smiling face
Nana knew exactly
How the tinsel should place
One silver thread
On each limb of pine
Another laid gently
So neat and so fine
For hours she’d continue
In her spirited way
So perfection would greet us
On that Christmas Day
She’d turn on the lights
Such a sight to behold
The sparkle of Christmas
Would never grow old
How I miss those days
How I miss you, sweet Rose
You decorated my heart
This, Heaven surely knows

The weather was turning. I could feel the winter wind strike a glancing blow across my face. Teary eyed, I watched, accepting the fact autumn would be leaving me. Icier days grew closer, and I drew deeper into myself. I couldn’t bear watching, for fear I’d never see her again.

Each day as I pen another
I wonder what it’s all about
Do these verses I write even matter
Or should I continue to toss them out
Into the world I’ve enveloped
In the place I have chosen for them
Nearest, to my heart and soul
Where they cause the most mayhem
These thoughts are certainly not menial
There is drudgery, elsewhere, to be found
So I shall continue to wear these chains
To my poetry, I am endlessly bound

Nothing ever made sense
But in his own silly defense
He’d wiggle and pose
Though nobody knows
Exactly why he was so dense
No matter what anyone said
It never got into his head
So he joined a rock band
That played in the sand
Long enough to make him some bread
He became a star on the stage
From morning til night, he’d engage
All the town folk, those women
Whose hearts were abrimmin’
Came running to him, a rampage!
He had no clue, what next he should do
So he begged, “On me please don’t tread!”
