Very sharply fell short of being anywhere near that way The sounds of little feet pattering in my direction For awhile, I captured the children’s attention Most the guys sleeping during the football game After getting bored with conversations lame Including the newest Hunter on his Uncle Nick’s chest And Aaron his son, taking a well deserved rest Everywhere I went, young Seth at my side Wouldn’t let me out his sight, no matter what I tried Becoming a mountain for him to climb And choosing me as his partner in crime Eventually, I would have to face questions about Amy And why she wasn’t there to help devour the turkey For what many said was the first time in awhile I explained the whole deal, with a smile As things grew quieter, I took a moment to look back Seeing yet again, how my life has taken a totally new track Remembering also that a more special date isn’t far away As I silently rejoiced the fact that nearly a year now she’d stayed I also had to wonder where the time had gone As it truly doesn’t feel as if it has been that long After my rest, it became time to put of the tree But we didn’t have enough lights to cover it’s 9 feet Sitting in the living room, halfway put together I quietly wished for the greatest Christmas ever As all the guests left, after an endless amount of time I finally got a chance to sign online Wondering what I would do while I waited I decided to write, before my memory faded Of the things that came and went my way On this, my first happy turkey day [comments] => 2 [counter] => 192 [topic] => 18 [informant] => J_Ganey [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 5 [ratings] => 1 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => Holiday Poetry )
