My Wish for You Today and Every Day
Posted on December 25, 2007 - Filed Under Teeni Poem
Here are some things that I find comfort in and I wish the same for each of you, my blogging buddies.
A Chair That Fits
On this Christmas, here’s my wish list;
for each of my friends, a chair that fits.
One you can sit way back in,
(it shouldn’t be hard to get out of again)
It should support you when you’re sore.
and your feet should still reach the floor.
A chair seems like such a simple material gift,
but we all need a place where we feel we fit,
and to know that even when no one else is home
we really, truly are not alone.
In this cozy chair you should dream and see
all the things you want to be,
and plan wondrous events to look forward to
of people to see and things to do.
You could put your feet up and experience
a movie, some music, or a book by chance,
Or a phone call from a loved one afar,
you could go places unreachable by car.
My wish doesn’t end there, it continues to grow
there are many things more I wish for you to know
like food and family and friends to share
The warmth of a hug and a person who cares.
For each of us, some comfort and a lack of need
for those of us enslaved to please be freed
I wished all these things and even more
from the bottom of my very core.
And now that the day is through,
I’d like you to know that I thought of you!
But I wished these things not just for today,
but for ever more and I’d just like to say
thank you for being such special friends
I also wish you peace and love that never ends.
And now that you’ve managed to read all the way through yet another of my “so bad they’re almost good” poems, I really do want to share some beauty with you. Please check out my friend Beth Ellen’s post, featuring one of her amazing pieces of art that truly blew me away. I think it speaks to anyone who has had health issues and even if you haven’t, it is certainly a wondrous piece to behold.

Teeni, that is beautiful I like it that is so true
Glad you liked it!
How beautiful Teeni.
Hope you and the hubby had a wonderful Christmas.
Oh, it was a lovely holiday. LOL. I ended up getting a bit of a stomach bug Christmas night though. Just my luck. LOL. I’m starting to feel better now after resting all day today. I am looking forward to visiting you all and seeing how your day went.
This is beautiful! You are so very talented
Im very glad you are a friend of mine and I hope you had a wonderful Holiday!
Well, thank you! And I’m so glad we’ve met on here as well! I’ll be coming ’round to visit!
I have my comfy chair but it could be just a bit better.
Thanks for the mention friend.
Well, then I wish an even better comfy chair for you. **grumbles, “Dang some people are just NEVER happy!”** LOL. As far as the mention, that piece of yours still rocks my world! I couldn’t help wanting to spread the word!
Beautiful Teeni and you are right, everyone needs a “chair”, it’s a symbol of belonging and security. I hope you and TGH had a wonderful holiday season.
Merry Christmas friend!
Thanks so much, Kami! We are relaxing and enjoying as much as we can! I hope you and your family are having a wonderful season as well.
hope you are feeling better now.btw I am never believing you again when you say you cant write poems
Well, thanks! I never thought of myself as a poet but I will say that I do have a lot of fun writing these and letting some of my feelings out.
Aw, I love this. And I have such a chair. I saved it from the dump. It’s a huge ol’ leather easy chair that I can curl up in with both the huge cat and the little dog. I love it.

Thanks, kiddo! I’m almost all beeter. heheh. Hugs to you (with no germs attached, of course).
This was so beautfiul, I felt all warm and cozy reading it, and I’m not even sitting in a special chair (not yet anyway, but it’s time to get one
)….
Thanks, Romi! It’s a great time to get one - everyone needs one and it doesn’t have to be pretty - think Edith and Archie Bunker! LOL

Yeah, you’d be too young to know who they are. Anyway if you are bored then its time to do another part of your 100 things about you post. Hop to it!

Yes, better to have you doing something productive than being bored. Yes, I’m bossy but in a good way!
