Without any further ado, open door number 24.
December 24, 2024
On the night before Christmas, just one door remains.
My muse, Thalia, and I sit wracking our brains.
For twenty-three days we've opened each door.
Do we have enough left to write just one more?
At a loss for a topic, my muse suggests
I look back on a lifetime of joy and reflect.
To feel gratitude, I don't require three ghosts
I just need to remember who matters the most.
Without family and friends, where would I be?
Their unflinching support is love's testimony.
My beloved sister and three doting brothers
are my greatest gift from my father and mother.
A husband who laughs with me every day
Without whom my humor might go astray.
My dear friends I embrace close to my heart.
Some of them new and some known from the start.
Charles Dickens plagued Scrooge to make one pointed note
That it's those near and dear upon whom we should dote.
I conclude my calendar with this message in mind:
If you can be nothing else, please choose to be kind.
May God bless us, every one.
