~~~~~
It’s time to put away the lights, the garland
And yes, the Christmas tree
It’s time to put away anything and everything
That reminds you of me
It’s time to place in the attic, pictures
The ones that made you smile
It’s time to tuck away the memories
That made life worth while

It’s time to pick up the wrapping paper
And the ribbons and bows
It’s time to sit a side the presents
And the perfume fragrance rose
It’s time to get back to the routines
Of our ordinary life
The job and the stresses
And the things that cause us strife

It’s time to wave goodbye
To the ones we hold so dear
And erase them from our minds
Until this time next year
It’s time to turn off the joy
And the melodies inside our head
It’s time to watch TV
Before we go to bed

You see this poem isn’t very pretty
Yet it’s exactly what some will do
They won’t keep the spirit of Christmas
The whole year through
They will go back to the life
That could never rise above
Cause the first thing they will put away
Is the Christmas love

Don’t be one of them.

Wonderful write, Jeff.. At first I was like...."What's up with Jeff?"...then I continued reading and realised where you were going with this...
Excellent job as always...

clever write and i agree with you.

While every care is taken to ensure the general sites content is family safe, our moderators cannot be in all places; all the time.

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. Â©
