Christmas-Eve--2017th--Party
im here at my Daughter-in-Laws, sisters,home--of--Karen, with my Daughter-in-law,son and  Grand-Daughters-of--Three


Many of their Family, and good  Friends, are all so happy, Merrily, and Joyously, Laughing, and--visiting--Merrily-Merrily-Merrily--Here
so many delicious festive Holliday foods, and Holliday treats and sweets, and eats, and Christmas-Music, is in the--Merry-Merry-Merry--air--as--CHRISTMAS--MORN----Draws--NEAR's


Im Remembering my twenty-year--Marine-Corps-Career
and, the many many ----Christmases----- I was a deployed away from home--and--not--NEAR


And in my Nursing, Career, of Years of Twenty
on --DUTY-- at Christmas-Time--I--spent--a--Many-----Christmases------away--a--Plenty


So I'm trying, to be Merry and Happy
and am trying my best to FIND, happiness and Glee



I count my every--BLESSINGS--as, I feel, happy and--HEALTHY
i know, that my HEALTH, is my WEALTH, and every day, I am getting STRONGER, and STRONGER, and--BLESSEDELY--I--AM--PAIN--FREE


But, as I'm---PRAYING---and, I am, ---FAITHFULLY---and---HOPEFULLY---S-T-A-Y-I-N-G
that, one day, some how, some, Miraculous, way, my HOPE-and-PRAYER, will, be that, --FOR-SOMEONE--I, will, be--good-enough,         And my Heart, will be free, from--PAIN--and be Lovingly, Happily, merrily merrily, merrily--singing
