DECORATING (Poem #354)

Jean Gorney

DECORATING

A wreath is hanging upon my door, which is
decorated with glitter and bows.
It can be seen from out to the street
A welcome to my guests it shows.

The tree is decorated and ready for this
wonderful night.
And the yard is dressed and strung
with all kinds of Christmas light.

The stockings are hung on
the fireplace
Everything is ready with no
time to waste.

Inside a fire is glowing within the
stove of wood.
I've given my thanks for His gifts, and
God said, “It is good.”

Jean Gorney

I wrote a poem for my daughter and new son-in-law and read it at their wedding reception in 1997. People have been encouraging me ever since. I try to write up-beat and happy poetry. My poetry has been in many anthologies, newspapers, church bulletins,etc. I won a small contest once. I self-published some small(4x5)books with about 16 poems in each that can be used as greeting cards. I include an envelope for mailing. Check them out on my FB page under Jean Magill Gorney. more…
