Poem Artwork

Why do people rush around. wearing themselves thin?

Do they think they’ll get stars on their crowns for a dust free home?

Why do people bake the cakes and cookies just because it’s holiday time?

Do they think they’ll earn a holiday nobel prize?

I do each & everyday all that my time allows.

I try making more time for individuals that need me in their day.

The dust will keep until my sinuses drive me into a sneeze.

Then I know it’s time to rid my life of the dust mites having a feast.

Give a person your quality time; make them feel special in life.

For quality time with a person is what we all deserve.

Lay down the cloth, let the dishes soak, give your brain a rest.

Take the hand of someone special & give them all your best.

Marlene Dawn . 2003

This needs to be posted everywhere... grocery stores, malls, ---this would be a great billboard--like the "GOD" ones ... These words ate a treasure and PLEASURE to find and read! I appreciate this. This is like a little holiday book that belongs on the coffee table. Everyone needs to read this. Wonderful conversation starters.

Thank You,
Emilie
