A Little Trouble Making A list.

I was sitting today thinking about what I wanted for Christmas,

I truly can say I want for nothing,

That is a good feeling and how truly blessed I am,

My husband said well surely you must want something,

I paused and thought well okay,

I said to him I want more sunny days than overcast ones,

Even in the cold when the sun shines it is so beautiful,

so yes that would be what I want.

That is very important to someone with a sleep disorder,

................

Okay he said I can't help you with that one.

What do you need?

I said I don't need anything.

I said I have all my arts and crafts to keep me busy,

my computer to play on,

I have my pets,

my friends, my family, my husband.

I said if there are things throughout the year I need

you go out and get them.

He said well yes but they are just everyday things.

I said you know the only thing I need sometimes

is to still cry about my Dad, and you hold my hand

and we remember. So If I needed anything 

I would need to tell you how I cherish our lives.

.....................

He said Okay you must wish for something,

I said yes I wish for good health for you and I,

I wish forgiveness to those who quarrel,

I wish for compassion for the needy,

I wish for warmth for the homeless,

I wish for food for the hungry,

I wish for hope and faith restored,

I said yes I wish to be kinder

and more loving to those I

know and don't know.

He said you are really not being very helpful for Christmas ideas,

I said Why don't you write me a poem,

they are so special to me.

I said even when you write about hockey,

and our life being a sport.

I said yes that is what I would like.

He smiled and we were both happy.

..................

I smiled inwardly knowing that he would not write this poem

until the 24th of December,

he writes like he Christmas shops.

at the very last moment.

I know it will be the 

Very Best Christmas!
