The Musings of an Unostentatious Homemaker

Chilly night Dancing lights Carols in all voice Everyone rejoice. Fun and joy For every girl and boy Gorgeous Christmas trees For everyone to see. Opening presents everywhere Houses filled with fanfare Tinkling laughter filled with love Smell of hot chocolate held in woollen gloves. Everybody knows As happiness overflows It's a day to herald and adorn For 'tis the day the Saviour was born.

I knew that the day would come I knew you'd grow up one day I  knew you'd go your own way ,little one I  knew you'd fly away. I  am happy that you've found your goal I am glad that you can stand on your feet I am proud of what you have made of your life I am at peace you can overcome your strife. I  did not consider it will be soon That you'll blossom into a flower Nor did I know it'll hurt me so To see my empty bower.

The skin has become wrinkled The hair has turned all white The body is a aging The eyes have lost its sight. The hands and legs don't work anymore It's difficult to walk The body is a aging The voice is unable to talk. Though the body is crumbling The mind is still in it's youth For age is just a number You're as old as you feel.

I can still remember you  As fresh as new The glimpse I caught of you Amongst a sea of men Is still imprinted in my brain.  My recollections of you  Are unfaded  Though I hardly knew you -  Your countenance in all these years Is not a lost memory. 

Hustle, bustle, blare and din Confusion, commotion, mayhem and stink Even with all this you shine City of joy you're mine. Crowded roads and jammed up lanes Waterlogging, filth and stench Even with all this you shine Captivating metropolis you're mine. Life is tough full of challenges and tests Living here everyday is a fight Even with all this you shine Enchanting megalopolis you're mine.

I'm happy whenever I enter your bosom I feel all weariness drain out of me. I heave a gentle sigh of bliss And think of all the calm you bring me. You are my only friend in dire distress I will always trust thee. You are my haven You are my little slice of heaven You are my safe abode My home.
