This Time of Year

Season

As we wind down to the end of another year,

gathering together to give thanks

and share food.

Then the deadliest day “Black Friday”,

which is meant to keep us busy

so the leftovers seem perfect for our dinner that day.

Shop till you drop is the next

order of the day.

With limited time to complete the mission before Christmas.

Presents then given as families gather,

another chance to share food and good cheer.

But don't forget at the end of each year.

The final celebration

with sharing of gifts and food,

is a birthday of sorts for Jesus our friend.

Yes Jesus often gets put on almost as an afterthought now. Food, superfluous shopping and presents take precedent now.

Ain't it the truth. Thanks again for visiting my work and commenting. It's greatly appreciated.

You're welcome. I've only been writing poems for two months so I'm not an expert I just say what I think.

[Willard Wells]

Well you will run onto experts on here and some that just think they are expert. The final of any piece of work to me lays in the pleasure you feel and receive from your work. All work can be edited, but when you finish are you sti.ll happy with the work. That's the test, good or bad in my humble opinion.

What may not appeal to one, may appeal to another. Each work speask in a different way to different people.
