I woke up too early Christmas Morning,
Yes I assure you, it was without warning
Cuz my husband Terry, he is still snoring!
And before this note becomes too boring
I was thinking of you in My brain
Trying to tell you there as I lain (sorry) :>)
Wanting to find a way to say
I appreciate you day by day
So I ran downstairs to take a look
and let you know by hook or crook
How much I liked your little book!
And all the pages, in our family nook
Although my eyes are alert and bright
I'm afraid I truly look a Fright
Yet here I sit, in sheer delight
before the computer and morn's first light
Trying desperately to find a way
thinking of just the right words to say
So you know we love you come Christmas Day
Knowing undoubtedly, the price I'll pay
Rhyming however, as you can see
Has never been my specialty
But I wanted to tell all cousins and thee
How much I enjoy your company
You know all the mail and pictures I see
Bring smiles and warm fuzzies to a cousin like me
So now with Thomas, the cat on my Knee
And Whisky Dawn's kitty in his box going pee
The lights on the tree, are blinking at me
As I sit here and smile, with pleasure I see
I'm sure to all, what a blessing it will be
for me to close, this monstrosity
Poems and riddles, are not my thing
but I'm hoping my message, it will bring
A note of happiness to your day
to think of me fumbling in this way
But later as you all play and sing
And sit to eat your Christmas pudding
Your Illinois family of you Is thinking
With love in our hearts our eyes are blinking
Merry Christmas to all, Yes applaud with glee
The torture is over, as you can see!!
