All’s Ready

Nancy

All is ready
Lights twinkle
And trinkets dangle
From laden branches
Icicles sparkle
With myriad facets
Catching reds, greens, silver
Spilling colors across the room

All is ready
Packages piled beneath and about
In waiting disarray
Ribbons tied
Labels written
Holly berries tucked into bows
Wrappings of white and gold
Reflect a rainbow

All is ready
Christmas Eve
Instilled with peace
The joy of
Readiness
Preparations complete for
Celebration
In this
Our home Above

All is ready
Yet one thing more
To give meaning to all
You, Vincent
Hurry home
Beloved Husband
All is ready
For you.

for H… Merry Christmas!
