Merry Christmas!



So they set the alarm for just before dawn,
Coffee to go they stumbled along;
A sultry pine watched them with conical eyes,
The sky frozen blue with marshmallow pies;
This morning is brilliant they both would agree,
And they smiled as they listened to the voice of the stream.

The waterfall kept them as if an old friend,
The boulders allowed them to pass once again;
An old fallen tree took them gently across,
A spider's web whispered the simplest thought;
The pack can be heavy but open your mind,
If you stay long enough you can leave it behind.

They confer on this thing for a minute or two,
And conclude for today eleven will do;
A new point of view is often the key,
Each obstacle just a new chance to succeed;
Peace to each one they may pass on the way,
Best wishes and hope for the Christmas Holiday!
