Christmas 2017

Wishing you a very Merry Christmas, and

wonderful New Year, 2018!

I Was Once Important To You

I was once important to you, my dear boy,

You may never fully know all the joy,

You made me feel so special when we were here as one,

But, sadly, now you’ve left me and I fear that we are done.

I tried my best to be strong inside,

But it was a major chore;

I thought you felt the same for me,

Yet now, it's me that you ignore.

I may not have been at the top of your list,

But you know you felt sparks,

Each time that we kissed.

I held you close, took in your scent,

Uh oh, time’s up… and away you went.

I was once important to you, my dear boy,

You may never know that it brought me so much joy.

Just to lay beside you, hold you so close in my arms,

Keep you safe, keep you warm, with all of my charm.

There Will Be Times...

There Will Be Times

(*)

There will be times when you feel like a scared little boy,

Other times you’ll feel proud, puff your chest out with joy.

And still other times you may get quite annoyed,

But, most of the time you’re my friend, Willie boy.

We only met not so long ago, typing words so fast;

Now it seems ancient history, everything’s in the past.

Don’t know what I was thinking, moving the way I did,

Talking to you, I must have forgotten, you’re a grownup,

Not just some little a kid. (*)

We talked until the wee hours of morn,

I was sure that you’d be quite bored.

To my surprise, you wanted more,

Yet at 3:00 am you closed the door. (*)

I tossed so many bad puns at you,

And you just let out a hearty, “Boo!”

Somehow I knew that inside you smiled,

And held me in your heart for a little while. (*)

I believe that we wanted the same ending outcome,

Two of us together, living happily as one.

The part only you had thought about was this:

The long distance kept us from sharing a kiss. (*)

I never thought I’d feel this way again,

You helped me smile, you always wore a grin.

The twinkle in your eye and the smile on your face,

Helped me realize I could survive this place. (*)
