Twas the day
after Christmas,
And all through
the house...
Was the litter
and glitter,
No room for a
mouse.
The wrapping and
ribbons,
Were strewn
everywhere...
I was too tired
to clean,
The mess that
was there.
Name cards and
ribbons,
All over the
place...
Twas really a
mess,
And near a
disgrace.
Where in the
world,
Was I to
start...
Getting rid of
the mess,
That filled each
one's heart.
But with a deep
sigh,
I reached then
to clean...
Put back into
place,
And store each
new dream.
Now we know
why,
There's a
Mother's Day later...
A reward for
her,
And the tasks
that await her.
At last it was
over,
For another
whole year...
Yet nostalgia
was there,
And escaped
with a tear.
A special time,
for each one of us,
And one that
we'll never forget...
Our efforts paid
off, with the joy on each
face,
So we know it's
the best ever yet!
