Martha Nored’s Christmas Poem

view From the Front Porch Porch

   

Christmas 2022

Amazing how quickly

Christmas rolls around!

Not so for the young ones—

Long patience abounds!

 

Looking for Santa—

Excitement filled air,

They cannot wait

For Santa to share!

 

Today my excitement

Is hearing from friends.

Time with our loved ones

And cards that they send.

 

Still, I’m amazed

Year 22’s gone.

Seems like yesterday

We heard it’s first gong!

 

22 had high points

And, also its low.

Grandkids grow older—

That’s how it goes!

 

Julia, the oldest,

Lives in OKC.

Delightfully does well—

Seems happy as can be!

 

Gina’s a Senior

Lipscomb’s the School

Bible, Elementary Ed.

Quality, That’s Cool!

 

Traveled to D.C.

So proud of Em.

High School graduate—James caught it on film.

Jayne’s girls are maturing.

Penny has a job.

Both are talented.

With skills by the glob!

 

Kaylee’s new teacher–

She calls her Mom!

A delightful time!

Just listen to her song!

 

But back to the old folks—

Such fun these days!

Visits to the Dr.

Keeps our life in sway!

 

Lynn’s prostrate treatment

Radiation went well!

Next year’s the time

That story will tell.

 

Here in December

We both got the flu.

Quickly turned to Covid

So, what can we do?

 

Spent time at Branson—

Hiked, slept and read.

Enjoyed down time.

Also, well fed!

 

A week in CA

Visiting our friends.

Spoiled by the Fosters—

The BEST without end!

 

Steven and Melissa

Bring joy to our home.

Watching over us

With love we’re shown.

 

Michener’s are busy—

Two teenagers involved

Ballet, violin

And work schedule solved.

 

Cheryl is happy—

Now sports INSPIRE.

Sleep now is better

When she retires!

 

James and family

Stay so involved!

Story of Redemption

Is where they feel called.

 

James got an award—

Distinguished alumni of the year.

He’s so deserving

Of that it is clear!

 

We’re so very proud

Of each of our kids!

God has so blessed them—

So proud that He did!

 

We count our blessings

At the end of this year

To have good friends

We count you so dear.

 

May God bless and keep you–

We cherish you so.

Merry Christmas to you.

To us you are GOLD
