Shining Example

Sweet, Merry Wipe-Day

Born to be at your service

Lives up to her name

Smiling, she cleans the castle

Even leaves the floors gleaming

Ode to the Occasion

Words of hopes and dreams

Written on telephone lines

Paper of white sky

Messages no one can see

Only felt by mourning doves

Inmaterial

Be so curious

To know more about yourself

You must go within

It’s not about things you have

It’s about why you want them

Just Like Mom

Sugar and anise

Something yummy this way smells

Cut out cookie time

A holiday tradition

Makes everyone feel special
