GLISTENING CAMERA VEILS
–
One or two cameras each year,
Will see through a veil made clear…
By silvery glints
Of spider web tints,
Pointed toward the sun it’s made clear.

COUNTING DOWN
Counting down to the moment
Of ultimate ecstasy foment…
We stay awake
For children’s’ sake,
Bearing with credit card torment.
–
Meaning slips year by year,
The older ways are more clear…
Yearly reminders
No commercial blinders,
Repetitious–but our conscience clears.
–
Come now to Bethlehem,
Marvel at the Babe again…
For joy running deep
While the Child’s sleep
Calms us to thank God for Him.

CERTIFICATION REALIZATIONS
(Or reminders, guys!)
Sitting with my wife in an office small,
Realizing forms we haven’t filled at all…
Needing more documentation
About our situation,
Being recertified has never been a ball.
–
Surrounded by my wife and two babes,
One is younger–neither need lamp shades—
There are things I could see
‘Twould be the end of me,
So I keep my eyes on the wife, not visual trades.
–
This serious stuff makes me nervous,
Of which the lady manager seems impervious…
Except in reminders frequent
Of things not in sequence,
Or missing, though she’s aware we’re not being devious.
–
Embarrassing this, most every year,
Not having everything ready as is clear…
We should have all this down,
It’s no time to fool around—
But when it is over we can heave a sigh and cheer.
