We Love and Care (A Family Christmas)

We look forward to.

We anticipate.

We invite and get excited.

We shop and over shop.

We order and over order and collect.

We book and arrange and plan.

We plan surprises and meals.

We buy food and presents.

We wrap with love.

We care.

We love...

 ...and care.

We open and welcome.

We cook.

We serve and share and love and care,

we pour and eat and watch and drink and; 'do' old traditions.

We unwrap.

We love and care,

we enjoy and care,

we share with love...

we love and care.

We snuggle and love and care and lye-in.

We over eat and drink and walk.

We walk the dog and eat some more and watch and rest and share and listen and love and care; together...

...we love and care.

Body: "Tired! Rest 'cos 

you've been up since 4am!" 

Mind: "ah yeah but..."

(Haiku)

Man on mobile. So

loud; the phone's not required!

'think "Steve's" in trouble!

(Haiku)

Don't you find that all

this technology is great...

when it works that is!

Remember paper

planes spiralling on a light

Parisian  breeze?

It Isn't You

(A Hillsborough tribute)

When I snap at you or shout or when I'm short of temper,
grumpy or vaccant -
it isn't you!

It's the football,
the game,
the celebration,
the screams and the crush
...the crowd: they died!

We sat,
In our house,
in a daze,
for a week,
trapped by the 'press' in our driveway.
So; it really isn't you.

Twenty birthdays, 

Easter's and Christmases stolen!
Left with just the screaming nightmares and cold emptyness.
And the "Why's" and the "What-if's" that you suffer to, so...

When I snap at you or shout or when I'm short of temper,
grumpy or vaccant -

it isn't you - 'cos; you are all I have.
