Holiday Poem 2015 Best Wishes from the Slaters

It’s just days before Christmas

And it’s time to reflect;

As the presents get wrapped

And halls become decked.

So much has transpired

Since I last wrote this poem;

The pace is so harried

Both at work and at home.

But instead of lamenting

How fast all the time goes;

Things that make me smile wide

Shall fill the lines of this prose

My three lovely offspring

Who fill my life with such joy;

Won’t make Daddy so happy

When they bring home the first boy.

Our oldest is Haley,

Smart, gorgeous and tall;

Amazed on the golf team

Man, can she crush a ball!

Our next one is Ainsley

An entrepreneur all the way;

She’ll do whatever you ask

As long as there’s pay.

And Maddie’s the last

A strong will, lots of might;

She’s sassy and sweet

And she’ll win every fight.

These three lovely ladies

Can be both wicked and nice;

And because of these girls

Our life’s chock full of spice.

And the best of my bunch

Is their mother, my wife;

Laura’s funny and smart

And as sharp as a knife.

She works super long hours

To make our family shine;

She inspires our brood

And slaps me back into line.

When I look at our world

So much gloom and such strife;

I just think of these ladies

And I cherish my life.

The best of the season

To your family and you;

Merry Christmas and such

From me and my crew.

To wrap up this poem

A small dream I will share;

With world peace up for grabs

One final thought, if I dare…

The New Year is coming

And with joy will I jump;

If our friends cross the border

Can dump that chump Trump.

Best Wishes from Sean, Laura, Haley, Ainsley and Madeline

Dedicated to the memory of Janet Novak...a very sweet lady.
