Some Poetry, not a reg. blog Enjoy

I felt like taking a little break here, so instead of a regular blog, of which there will be more, here a a couple of poems I have written over the yrs. The first one is light, and for the season. it is called "The Night Before Christmas" by John M. Roberts It's the night before Christmas and all through the house; all the creatures are stirring, the kids, the dogs, even the mouse. We're still trying to get the kids in their beds, for the tenth time; With the wife in her nightgown, looking sexy and real fine. The Christmas tree is bright with tinsel, and the twinkling lights; With the ground covered with snow, my what beautiful sights. I hear one of the kids yell out, please get me a drink; So I get up once again, and head for the kitchen sink. They're finally quiet, and slowly falling asleep; 'Cause I told them Santa won't come, if he hears one little peep. So at last all is quiet, and being alone with my lady, sure is nice; 'Cause now is our chance, to have our own bit of Christmas, sugar and spice. Ok here is another one titled....."Another Blue Christmas by John M. Roberts It's Christmas time once more, but it doesn't feel like Christmas to me; For what is Christmas without loved ones gathered around the Christmas Tree. People are caught up in the frenzy, rushing to and fro; Yet all I'll be doing this Christmas is staying home, for I've no place to go. They'll be no Christmas gifts, wrapped in pretty paper and bows; For even though I'm sad and lonely, no one cares, and no one knows. Christmas is here, a special time for family and for friends; But for me, it'll be just a blue Christmas, for I suffer from loneliness, that never ends. I should be use to it by now, for I've been along for so long; For loneliness is an old companion, and over the years I've grown strong. So I don't cry anymore, but my heart is still filled with sorrow; Because nothing I can change seems to change it, and I'm sure, It'll still be the same.....tomorrow. Merry Christmas
