A "Christmas Blues" Poem

A Christmas Blues Poem by Tammy

Christmas is over...Little one has the croup
But she's just so picky and won't eat her soup.

Presents all openned and toys everywhere
The tree's shedding needles...
I'm too tired to care

No carols are playing
No more "Fa la la la"s
I guess you might say
I have post-Christmas blahs.

The temperature's dipping
But no snow in sight
The puppy is wild
and continues to bite

Did I say that Hawaii no longer holds charms?
Well, I guess I was wrong...
at least it is warm.

I can't help but wish, now that Christmas has passed,
that Spring would just hurry and blossom here fast.
But just as that song that Miss Andrews did sing,
I'll stop and just think of "My favorite Things"........

So, dreaming of beaches and palm trees that sway
Tulips and roses and warm, sunny days
Puppies that cuddle and dare not to bite
Children who share and never do fight
Houses that seem just to clean up themselves
Toys that are new -put away on the shelves.
Doorbells and sleighbells, no-calorie pie,
A day to myself just to read and to sigh,
A tummy so firm that never you'd see
Those candies and sugar plums hiding in me

So those are my post-Christmas wishes to sing
To cheer up my heart as I'm waiting for spring,
But now I must go, there are dishes to do
And puppies to chase and to walk and to "Shew!"

Reminding myself just how much God has blessed
As I think on the good...He'll take care of the rest!

Happy New Year!
