My Night Before Christmas - A Poem

Writing poetry is an alternative form of self-expression. Every poem is a learning experience - a creative process to enrich my life.

My Night Before Christmas

It's the night before Christmas

The cupboards are bare

I don't have a dollar

But shucks, I don't care

With a family that loves me

That's all I need

And friends that stay loyal

Ah, yes, indeed

I've never felt better

I'm blessed with good health

I count all my blessings

And add up my wealth

My world's full of beauty

I love everyday

Nature's paintings surround me

And show me the way

May whatever I do

As I travel this road

Leave an imprint of love

And a brave story told

Now my cupboards are full

With no room to spare

With music, a dog

And a family so rare

Have a wonderful Christmas

Have a wonderful year

With Angels beside me

I will see you next year
