For Stacey,
Twas the weeks before Christmas and all through Facebook
“Hey I didn’t get a letter?!” was the posting , what a hook!
So out to the computer I flew like a flash
Opened up Microsoft word, 2012 to rehash
Perhaps embarrassed by good fortune the author delayed,
Puerto Rico, Costa Rica & Cape Cod she had stayed
One trip was all women friends celebrating a big 4 Oh,
Although with 50 around the corner, wondering where we will again go
College trips with #1, pressure and tension,
“I feel stress whenever I see you!,” was his exclamation
Luckily that is over, accepted already,
Waiting on a few more . Marketing for #2 coming in steady.
All three boys are in high school, and will finally be a team
Basketball for the winter, happy they seem.
Business is booming, and changes perhaps coming
As long as referrals keeps my electricity humming
Alex is slowly returning from teen cavedom, as Michael descends
Oh well, it was fun While it lasted, these parenting trends
After all, our children aren’t ours
We just pay for their lessons, medical bills & cars
Michael is now fencing, Alex & Nick work
Scorekeeping at basketball, responsibilities not to shirk
Not much planned for the New Year
College decisions to make
Watching him go, I know, my heart , it will break
New adventures for Alex, & for us left behind
I may be crying in next year’s letter, hope you don’t mind.
With gratitude & appreciation for your friendship and fun
Hoping your holiday season is a wonderful one!
Merry Christmas!
