Our Plate Of Cookies
We started off right
With lots of ideas
Of all the gifts
that everyone gives.
"Well, we'll do it too!"
Enthusiastically we said,
Planning cookies, cakes,
And fresh warm bread.
So, we made a list
Of those to receive
Our plate of goodies
Under their tree.
There's the neighbors, home teachers,
In-laws, baby tenders,
Neighborhood children,
Pitch hitters, sugar lenders,
The teachers, ward members
The list never ends.
In desperation we screamed,
"We have too many friends!"
How could they all be so nice to me?
Creating Christmas stress!
That just couldn't be!
Then the thought came right back,
Hit us right in the face.
We smiled as everything fell into place
Too many friends?
We guess things could be worse.
If we must be plagued
I'll let this be my curse.
Some say it with sweets,
Some sing it like birds,
Some make it with crafts,
We'll tell it with words.
You're wonderful, we love you!
We're blessed as can be,
Friends are the best gifts,
under any Christmas tree.
