Door to December 2nd, 2022
Welcome back Dearest Elves, Santa’s Helpers, and Giftee Giving Gifters,
I appreciate your patronage of my blog adventures.
In a season of merriment and mirth, sometimes the dark days of winter turn gray and deliver you to memories that are lukewarm at best. Life is a balancing act and part of the fun is in sampling the range of emotions associated with living it. Sometimes disappointment rears its ugly head, but we must remember to make an effort to make the best of any situation we find ourselves in. In a season that is imbued with anticipation, it is fair to point out what The Rolling Stones knew all along: “You can’t always get what you want…”

“Make a Wish Foundational”
“Make a Wish Foundational”
My Mother once said…
“Every time you enter a new church, make a wish.”
Kneeling down in a pew
In a hushed voice before God
Giving trade secrets away
And I, kneeling before authority
On all counts
Believing down deep in every atom
That I was allowed a loophole
Thinking for a short time…
That no one else knew.
Somehow able to make all the wishes
Over time, it stuck with me
Running in the background of my operating system
Year to year
New church to new church
All the wishes
Kneeling in countless pews
In a hushed whisper before God
Revealing my secret desires
Disappointed by authority
On all counts
Unfulfilled
