Amongst the madness..........

Old man I see you there
Pushing a trolley as if you don't care
A sparkle in your eyes amongst the fanfare
How is it you have time to share
Polished falseys and a gleaming smile
Little steps forever a mile
Each one so worthwhile
As you bask within your own style
Old man I see your stare
My hand outstretched so I may share
Christmas blessings with love and care
A stranger in your life with gifts to spare........

One nice thing about being old at Christmas time. You have the time to be patient and smile to those around you for your not in a hurry and can relax and enjoy the sounds and smells around you. I try to smile and make light conversation with those around me to try to ease their stress at least for a moment and most times it works. Happy New Year Nu to you and Kathy. Here is to another blessed - happy and healthy year for you both! wine hug
