There are Champagne bubbles, carbonation
& bathtub bubbles, too
and bubbles can be blown…
a mouth or machine will do
I love the way that bubbles
dance up in the air
going wherever they want
effortlessly…without care
In the bathtub we can wear them,
soft upon our skin
or simply play with them
over & over again
Bubble gum bubbles
give our mouths something to do
they come in a variety of colors
and all kinds of sizes, too
Bubbles in a drink
will tickle the taste buds & tummy
and I personally think
they make drinks rather yummy
And bubbles are like our emotions
sometimes they fly free
& when something touches them
they can pop suddenly

Oh how I love chocolate though it does not take much
to satisfy a craving, I only need a little munch
White chocolate, dark chocolate, mint, milk & semi-sweet, too
any kind of chocolate will help me get through
Nestle, Ghiradelli, Hersheys or Sees
the brand also does not matter to me
Though I do have a favorite – Ghiradelli dark squares
and when I have them, I’m happy to share
So if you love chocolate, as many people do,
tell me, what is your favorite? And can I share with you?

Joy is something you can express
through a smile or a song
I believe joy lives inside of us
and has been there all along
But sometimes we forget
- we let other emotions come in
And they can cover up the joy
until we can’t feel it from within
There is still hope, for we can choose
the emotions that we feel
And when we choose to be positive
Our joy we can reveal
So let your joy shine through
for all the world to see
By simply sharing your joy
you’ll help others shine radiantly

Love is patient, love is kind
Love is something individually defined
Love is lasting…without end
Love is shared with family & friends
Love is unconditional, love is forgiving
Love is for those gone as well as for those living
Love is exciting, love is routine
Love is every emotion that lies in between
Love makes life worth living; if you don’t feel it, just believe
That when you are open to it, love you will receive.

Peace on earth is a marvelous wish
It is an amazing idea that sounds quite delish
But how is it possible in the world today?
How could we get everyone to join us & play?
The truth is the message must start with you
Embracing and expressing peace, love & patience, too
And while you may be but one in the world
When one touches one, slowly the magic unfurls
If you want peace, then peace you must be
Living as a beam of hope for all to see
Your efforts make a difference; your life can impact
All those you touch and all those touched after that
So strive for peace, let it start with you
And watch what happens, what appears when you do

Five little gift receipts taped to their presents
The first one said, “Oh my this is unpleasant!”
The second said, “We’re just going to be exchanged.”
The third one said, “So much to be rearranged…”
The fourth one said, “I’m ready! Let’s go!”
The fifth one said, “Merry Christmas! Ho, ho, ho!”
Swish went the air as they were rushed out the door
And the five little gift receipts headed back to the store.

Five little presents sitting under the tree
The first one said, “Open me! Open me!”
The second one said, “Hooray! What fun!”
The third one said, “I’m the one! I’m the one!”
The fourth one said, “Pick me! Pick me!”
The fifth one said, “Here is my key.”
Crinkle went the paper as the presents were opened wide,
Revealing the special gifts inside.

Five little elves working on toys
For all of the good little girls and boys
The first one said, “Oh no! It’s time to go!”
The second one said, “Look! It’s starting to snow!”
The third one said, “Let’s go load the sleigh.”
The fourth one said, “Let’s feed the reindeer hay.”
The fifth one said, “Santa’s on his way!”
And here is what Santa had to say
“Ho Ho Ho! What a wonderful sight!
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!”

Five little reindeer pulling Santa’s sleigh
The first one said, “Hooray! We’re on our way!”
The second one said, “Snow is in the air.”
The third one said, “But we don’t care!”
The fourth one said, “We’re flying very high.”
The fifth one said, “Up in the starry sky!”
Swish went the reindeer as they quickly flew away
And the five little reindeer went and ate their hay.

Five little angels singing hymns of praise
For the birth of Jesus is celebrated these days
The first one sang, “Silent night, holy night”
The second one sang, “All is calm, all is bright”
The third one sang, “‘Round yon virgin, mother & child”
The fourth one sang, “Holy infant so tender & mild”
The fifth one sang, “Sleep in heavenly peace”
And together they repeated, “Sleep in heavenly peace.”
The five little angels watched as He lay
asleep in a manger, cushioned by hay
“Behold! The Prince of Peace,” the five angels proclaimed
as they continued to sing and praise His glorious name.
