Merry Christmas, My Friend

Merry Christmas My Friend

Well today I finally did it, went out and cut down a Christmas tree

This just isn’t the norm, to let procrastination get the best of me.

I am usually the one, done shopping before it really starts,

Mostly getting it done all along, doing it with bits and parts.



But here I am thinking, just before this Christmas day,

This might be a new beginning, leading to a better way.

For just in the midst of this hurry scurry, as the day is closing in

I am now thinking of prosperity, and what it takes to win.



It is just not the same, no little kids to help spread the cheer,

Most all grown and gone, all the one’s you hold so dear.

At least our Marine is not in harms way, not living in a fox hole

As he was for Christmas in Iraq, not that long ago.



I would love to go see him, Hawaii is the place to go,

Especially with our temperatures, hitting at 30 below,

He does understand though, times are some what rough,

Time to show the world, Marines and Montanans really are that tough.



It is time to reflect on things, those that really matter,

Not the “noble” things, that make mass media start to chatter.

I have raised a son, that could change the course of things

Meanwhile the rest of America, cares about trappings and bling blings.



I myself have the love of a family, kids, and a great wife,

When so many in America, wonder of their fate and their life..

We will make it through, with no whining, crying, or pain.

Cause we are of our ancestors, with no pain, you have no gain.



It is time to cherish all of those things that we have got,

It’s time to quit complaining about the things that we have not;

It is time to start with the wonder of Jesus being born,

It is time to stop all of this comparing of scars, that we have all worn..



So on this day I wish you all good will, this is a Christmas blessing at its best

Think about all of the good things happening, forget about the rest.

Christmas is about things positive, all the rest they will believe

There were things done special, there’s special thoughts we can conceive.



Think about those that have nothing, not to give or to receive,

Think about your life on earth, and what you hope to leave.

It is then the true spirit of Christmas ,will find it’s way on out,

And you will get it’s real meaning, that I have no doubt.



So from our little outfit, Merry Christmas from ours to yours’

Even if you live in the middle of town, not wearing boots and spurs.

Hope for you the very best, all smiles and no shed tears

Have a Merry Christmas, and the happiest New Years.

Thanks Scott. Good thoughts in rhyme. Glad some can do that for the rest of us to read and admire.

So glad your son is over there. Hawaii is interesting and so green and pretty in many of the places. Some really beautiful ranches there, too. And pretty easy for even people from out in the sticks to drive around and see the sights at a slow pace, as the 'locals' are very forgiving of tourist drivers! Hope you can somehow manage to visit him while he's there.

Have a great New Year!
