A Christmas Poem
by Joshua Taflinger
(Read in your head by William Shatner)
‘Twas the morning of Christmas and I at work,
The Senior Officers had the day off, oh what a perk;
Over a year now, since I graduated the academy,
We had two little kids then, but now we have three;
Jadyn Elizabeth, what a bundle of joy,
Joshua and Janna love her more than their favorite little toy;
Those two have grown up way too fast,
But we love being parents, oh what a blast;
Joshua is three now, almost turning four,
With a smile on his face as he walks through his pre-school door;
Janna is over a year and loves to run,
What an awesome girl, and so much fun;
For Julie, Mom to Mom is the place to be,
As she joins the ladies at church for a cup of tea;
Bikers for Christ is my ministry of choice,
As we share the Word of God with our voice;
2009 is almost gone; time sure has flown by,
It brought a smile to our face and a tear to our eye;
Thankful and blessed is how we feel,
That’s what we pray before our meal;
Warm in their jammies, sitting under the tree,
Opening their presents, excited with glee;
This house is getting smaller, it feels so tight,
But with all love we share, it feels so right;
They might not know it, so young and so small,
The greatest gift was Jesus that died for us all;
Like the wise men, be led by the star so bright,
From us to you,
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
