My Words from Me to You this Christmas Printable Version PRINTABLE VERSION
by Akindele Oyeyemi, Nigeria Nov 3, 2008
Media   Poetry

  

Every body,

I write these words, these lines, a stanza-it might be someday,
not with fear, for I am without one
not with saddened, someday the truth will come forth,
not with hate, for your actions made me stronger
for with an absolute love, pure from my warmth felt feelings for you

To you my foes- of a long line of hatred and disagreement,
I greet you with high esteem from a soften heart
For you my friend- with a spot on counseling
Nothing in this world would separate us
For my family –by timeline events or bloodline
My dreams would not have come true…if not of you all

So for you all my friends and family especially my foes,
I wish you a wonderful Blue Christmas
if I had known Santa personally,
I would have told him to present to you the upmost desire
but he would anyway
because you all are good lovely and exciting people.

I would forever miss you for 2008
but there is 2009
since you all going to be there with me
to make it much more – grandeur.
This is my words from-me2u-

Me
