Softest of Songs

(Edited)


Traditions built, memories made
Wrapping my heart with a well-placed bow
Spreading our gifts
To all that we know
From the top of the tree
The softest of songs
Drift through the air
Lifting my soul
Hallelujah

"Christmas is not in tinsel and lights and outward show. The secret lies in an inner glow. It's lighting a fire inside the heart. Goodwill and joy a vital part. It's higher thought and a greater plan. It's a glorious dream in the soul of man."

- Wilfred A. Peterson

Thank you for visiting my post 💖 Because of you, I come back to post, again and again. And never forget, kindness counts. Wherever you go, whatever you do.



they set my aunts house on fire
i cried the way women on tv do
folding at the middle
like a five pound note.
i called the boy who use to love me
tried to ‘okay’ my voice
i said hello
he said warsan, what’s wrong, what’s happened?

i’ve been praying,
and these are what my prayers look like;
dear god
i come from two countries
one is thirsty
the other is on fire
both need water.

later that night
i held an atlas in my lap
ran my fingers across the whole world
and whispered,
"where does it hurt?"
it answered,

"everywhere"
"everywhere"
"everywhere"

My day has been weird, cause I was studying some changes to my 401K through work and trying to understand some minor investment things. I say minor, but everything is major to me. I don't know about it, I don't want to know about it, I just want it to run in the background on it's on. LOL !! I did learn all I needed too though, so I'm ready.... I think.

I was off of work though and still getting paid, so there is lots to be said for such things.

Immabout to go make another post now.

Yay! I missed it last night, so, I will run over now.

Glad you got the 401 straightened out, but, the always have a representative at work who knows everything about it.

It's always the best, no work and pay!

Thank you so much. I have never learned the art of storytelling in poetry like you do. I am always awed by it!

Love to you. 💖

I recently started writing ballads, thanks to @raj808 and @theinkwell. This one is my second one. They are a lot of work! But worth it in the end.

You need to stake more BEER (24 staked BEER allows you to call BEER one time per day)

Lovely poem, @dswigle! Christmas is that thing in our hearts that blossoms into light and love each year at this time and, on the good days, makes us feel blessed to be human.

Quiet words awakening to ponder through the day.

Giving the best of oneself to all, the only gift is ones heart.

Have a wonderful day Denise.

Drilling down into code on my very neglected wp.org site or make the decision to be done with it! One thing I don't have time for of late is the fiddly things in life.

Much rather visit here and chat to friends, waiting in anticipation of photography full of snow for the season up North, to cool me down here 😃
