Benjamin Posted December 10, 2010 Share Posted December 10, 2010 (edited) Hello. As a new member and bearing in mind the time of year, I would like to introduce my self with this acrostic. I look forward to reading,commenting and contributing on PMO. Benjamin Surrounded by good will and festive cheer, Elated, having family so near And welcome friends exchanging gifts and cards. Small children, singing carols for rewards Of fruited cake, mince pies and silver change. Nostalgic grown-ups dressing Christmas trees, Silent Night adrift on wintry breeze. Going to church the first time in a year, Remembering those who are no longer here. Excited children snug in bed, will lay Expectantly, to hear old Santa's sleigh. Toast your blessings with a glass of wine In thanks, to this extraordinary time. Noel! Ring out the bells across the world! Glad tidings of humanity convey, Salute!--- may God be with you-- every day. Edited December 10, 2010 by Benjamin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
