Holding Out

I made it seem like I did not get my wife hardly anything. She filled this monster stocking for me, and she gave me heck. It was hard to hold out to the end.

They have all gone Home

The silence settles In

This is where I use to feel Sad

But now my wholeness found Within

I enjoy this time with me Now

No need to worry where they've Gone

The day flew by, it was so full of Joy

As I take this time to look back On

Nothing could have made today any Better

Everything went just as Planned

I saw it all working, she thought I had no thought of Her

I could see it all building, inside my fire Fanned

It started with the Stone, that was oh so Blue

She knew then there had been a thought or Two

So the day eased up and I made it to the End

With a call I cried out we need another walk Too

For I could see the ending, that the smile I'd Win

All were amazed, how did that gift get There

She wondered if nothing would be hers Again

I told them that Santa dropped it from the Air

They asked how long the thing had been in the Pond

I said three weeks if not a little Longer

They laughed and they grinned, but a little they did Wonder

Then in a minute their laugh got a little Stronger

She looked down a smile came to her Face

As I handed her the paddle, she reached Out

Then I had won, held out to the End

I found true surprise in her eye, there was no Doubt

This line is a bit cofusing"The laughed and they grinned, but a little they did Wonder"I am not sure whom your talking to now.I had thought it was a she as in singular but here it switch's to more than one.Try she had laughed ang grinned ,but yet she wondered. Other than that its most alluring

Thank you, W R
it was a typo, I think it is better try reading it again and see what you think. They is my Family. We are all together and I have them all outside where we have a little bond that flows to a waterfall and creek in my front yard. But yes it is all about her, she thinks she's got slumped is that a word, I'm thinking probably in Brooklyn. Thank you so much, I like for it to be alluring, trying to draw you all the way in, with my emotion for the moment. I got to maybe put a little more detail in it, but then you reading between the lines is fun too, isn't it?

[W R Stowe]

yes that is definately better and as writers we put people on a roller coaster ride with their own emotions
