A story book family
staying together--FOREVER--happily, ever after, for many and me,is not--the--STORY-BOOK-Happy-Ending--and--REALITY


Really for me, and i know--FOR--MANY
HOLIDAY--CHEER--they, don't feel, too much of--ANY


I don't want to be like a GRINCH
but being around all the, kids now and for me, around the--EX--and--her, new Boyfriend, puts me in a--PINCH


The same for a Woman
at Holliday seasons,to see her--EX--with, someone new hugging, and  happily ever after,and hand in HAND




My Grand-Parents--had--Eleven-Children,on, their-Wisconsin--FARM
for--SIXTY--years--they--loved, one  another,--through-thick-and-thin-in-every-weather-- with great LOVING--CHARM


My, Mom,and, DAD
gave their three kids and the middle kid was me--ALL--THE--BEAUTIFUL--LOVE--that,--they--HAD


Eight, children, has been my BLESSING--TRUE
and, I think for, any--FAMILY-- at the--Holidays--when, one of the partners is, all--ALONE--they,--FEEL--, sad --lonely--and --BLUE--too


If I could have my--OWN--WAY
just being ALONE,On the Holidays,---I--- would just rather stay --to--MYSELF---and----PRAY


But I know this--YEAR--I--will--DO-MY-BEST
to, be around, everybody, and  be full, of-----GREAT-CHEER----and---PRAY---I---can----PASS---this---challenge--and--TEST
