POETRY: THE RICHES OF CHRISTMAS

The lights are held with masking tape
Toothpicks hold the baubles
The tree is made of cardboard
And try as we might, it wobbles

Pennies pinched and couches search
Was not enough this year
No shopping trips or wrapping gifts
Yet still we're filled with cheer

The house is warm, our bills all paid
Good health we still enjoy
With friends and family all around
Our gratitude employ

Tis the season, deck the halls
Familiar carols play
I hope all's well with you and yours
Come this Christmas day

*     *     *
   Not every Christmas is as grand or extravagant as the others. I've had my fair share of both. What about you?
